Bacon and Egg Morning Cups

Bacon and Egg Morning Cups
 
 
Well, hey there! How are you? Do you need an awesome breakfast, snack or super fast meal idea? You've come to the right place then because this one is loaded with delicious protein and carbs and is sure to keep your taste buds happy and belly full. I won't lie, I've seen photos on pinterest with something similar but have truly never looked at a recipe. Why? Because I wanted to make my very own and deliver it to you!
You're welcome.

So, it's pretty simple and you can make you own version with different meats, or leave the meat out if you don't have anything on hand. What I'm giving you is a recipe that makes exactly 12 morning cups and I will give you instructions on how to refrigerate/reheat and freeze/reheat. Again... you're welcome.
 
Top with avocado slices or salsa or both and enjoy a very delicious paleo and gluten free meal.
 
Ingredients:
(Recipe makes 12 regular sized muffin cups)
12 slices of bacon. I use the pre-cooked but use your paleo version if you like
6 whole eggs
1/2 cup liquid egg whites
1/4cup chopped turkey meat - I use deli meat so find a paleo version if you'd like *Sub any cooked/chopped meat if you prefer another over turkey*1/2 bell pepper, chopped. I like red, orange or yellow *Make it spicy with a jalapeno!*
1 cup chopped spinach
Salt and Pepper to taste
 
 
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Line a regular sized muffin tin with precooked bacon. If you are going to use raw bacon, precook it in a skillet or in the oven until it is almost all the way cooked. It needs to be pliable enough to put in the muffin tin.
In a bowl, scramble the eggs and egg whites together with the salt and pepper. Add the remaining chopped ingredients and stir to combine.
Using 1/4cup measurement or an ice cream scoop (which is my preferred method), pour one scoop of the egg mixture into each cup. You may have a little left over in the bowl so make sure you put all of that goodness into a cup that may not have gotten enough.
 

Bake at 400 degrees for 25-30 minutes, or until the eggs have cooked entirely through. My cooking time is somewhere between 23-25 minutes so keep an eye on them.
These will puff up in the oven and then will deflate just a little bit so don't be too disappointed when they come out. It's suppose to happen this way.

When you refrigerate these and are ready to reheat, you can pop them into the microwave for a minute or back into a 400 degree oven for 10-15 minutes and they will be perfect.

For freezing, place on a plastic-wrap lined cookie sheet and freeze for about an hour then transfer to a freezer safe container. When ready to reheat, place the amount you want to serve on a cookie sheet and preheat the oven to 400 degrees. By the time your oven reaches temperature, it should have been given enough time to thaw out a little. Bake 25-30 minutes to reheat.
 

Serve and enjoy!

  1. In this manner my associate Wesley Virgin's adventure begins in this SHOCKING AND CONTROVERSIAL video.

    As a matter of fact, Wesley was in the military-and shortly after leaving-he discovered hidden, "mind control" tactics that the CIA and others used to obtain anything they want.

    These are the same SECRETS lots of celebrities (notably those who "became famous out of nowhere") and top business people used to become rich and famous.

    You've heard that you use only 10% of your brain.

    Mostly, that's because the majority of your brain's power is UNCONSCIOUS.

    Perhaps that expression has even taken place INSIDE OF YOUR very own mind... as it did in my good friend Wesley Virgin's mind seven years back, while driving a non-registered, trash bucket of a car without a license and with $3 in his pocket.

    "I'm so fed up with living paycheck to paycheck! Why can't I turn myself successful?"

    You took part in those questions, isn't it right?

    Your success story is going to happen. You just need to take a leap of faith in YOURSELF.
