I could stuff my face on an entire plate of bacon, but thankfully my sense of moral judgement encourages self-control. Instead of being a bacon hog, I incorporate bacon into other meals. It offers incredible flavor and can completely transform a dish.
The best part of this egg, bacon, and veggie recipe is that it’s unbeatably easy. Crack the eggs into Vitamix Aer Disc container. Turn it on and gradually increase the speed to medium and run for thirty seconds. You’ll notice the eggs frothing and expanding; they should nearly double in size.
In a separate bowl, combine the crumbled bacon, cheddar cheese, and seasonings. Like veggies? Toss in diced bell peppers, mushrooms, or onions. Not a fan of vegetables? No problem, you can skip them. Mix in the eggs until the mixture is well combined.
See how easy that was?
Pour into a muffin tin. I love my jumbo muffin tin which has six extra large muffin cups, but a standard muffin tray will also work well.
Don’t forget to grease your muffin tray! Cooking spray, olive oil, or butter are all perfect options.
Bake for fifteen minutes. When you open your oven, don’t freak out! The egg muffins will be fluffy and overflowing the muffin cups. That’s normal! Remove it from the oven and it will deflate within a minute. Scoop out of the muffin tin and enjoy while it’s hot.
If desired, serve with extra cheese and crumbled bacon on top. (In my humble opinion, more bacon is always better!)
