Bacon & Chive Egg Muffins

Rendering the bacon first and using its fat to grease the tin adds a layer of flavor you can't get from cooking spray alone.

Ingredients

  • 6 slices bacon, diced
  • 8 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh chives
  • salt and pepper to taste

Method

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 375°F. Cook the diced bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 6-8 minutes, then remove with a slotted spoon, reserving the rendered fat.

  2. 2

    Brush the rendered bacon fat generously into a 12-cup muffin tin instead of using plain cooking spray — it adds real flavor to the crust of each muffin.

  3. 3

    Whisk eggs with almond milk, salt, and pepper, then stir in the cooked bacon and chives.

  4. 4

    Divide the mixture evenly among the muffin cups.

  5. 5

    Bake 18-20 minutes until puffed and set. Cool 5 minutes before removing from the tin.
