Directions
1. To make the cheesy bacon egg muffins: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 6 count muffin pan with oil or non-stick cooking spray. Set aside. In a large mixing bowl, crack in eggs and whisk together with salt and black pepper.
2. Stir in cooked bacon, cheddar cheese, Italian seasoning and red chili pepper flakes (if using). Divide evenly into muffin cups filling each about 2/3 full. Top with more bacon and cheese if you like. Bake the egg muffins in preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until set. Allow to cool a bit and serve your cheesy bacon egg muffins immediately, or enjoy cold.
Note: The egg muffins recipe is versatile enough so you can customize with what you have on hand in the refrigerator!

5/5 stars, so good and easy to make. I couldn't find my bacon bites so i used shredded honey ham instead and it turned out delicious!

5/5 stars it was incredibly delicious! I used some of the bacon grease to coat the bottom of the muffin pan and it gave it some extra flavoring! I even cut it into quarters and put in mini baking cups to serve at a breakfast party. Everyone enjoyed them and some even asked for the recipe, haha.

Yum! I doubled the recipe and fried some minced onion to add in. Perfect! Make sure you do a good job with the cooking spray because mine stuck a bit. (my fault!)

@Karina and @Kaitlyn, I make them all the time and freeze for a quick microwavable breakfast. I only keep them frozen for about a week or two and the reheat very nicely! Just wrap in a damp paper towel and heat for about 30 - 40 seconds (depending on how many and how big)

Yum. Added mushroom, grated carrot and zucchini, Moroccan spice, curry powder. Looked fab as they came out of the oven but sadly sank - taste was awesome tho.

Are these best frozen for prep?

I just have a quick question about these. Can they be frozen, and if they can be, for how long?

Best recipe ever and so easy. I change up the seasoning and cheese too. Great hot or cold!
