Ingredients
Scale
- 10 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 dash hot sauce
- 1 (4oz) can green chilies
- 1/2 small onion, chopped
- 1/2 red bell pepper, chopped
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1/2 pound cooked bacon or sausage
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray a muffin pan very generously with cooking spray.
-
In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, black pepper and green chilies. Set aside.
-
In a skillet, saute peppers and onions for about 3 minutes. Remove from stove and set aside.
-
Evenly distribute your meat of choice into each muffin cup. Next put in about 1 tablespoon of the pepper and onion mixture in each cup. On top of the peppers and onions evenly distribute the cup of shredded cheese.
-
Pour egg mixture over the ingredients, making sure you have about the same amount of egg mixture in each cup.
-
Bake for 22 to 25 minutes or until eggs are set. Take out of the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes before eating.
Notes
- Make sure you spray the muffin tin generously, otherwise they will be hard to get out in one piece
- If you are using bacon for this recipe, take a look at my perfectly cooked bacon recipe,
- If you have some leftover taco meat, either in the refrigerator or the freezer, that would be a great substitution for the bacon or sausage.
To Freeze: Let egg cups cool completely. Place in a gallon freezer bag, remove all the air, and freeze.
When you are ready to eat them there are two ways to thaw them:
- Thaw in the fridge over night and microwave them for about 20 seconds or until heated through. Don’t overcook them or they will be like rubber.
- Thaw them, directly from frozen, on the defrost setting in the microwave until heated through. This takes 1 to 2 minutes.
