Ingredients
Ingredients
- 12 large eggs
- 12 slices turkey bacon (such as Applegate Naturals)
- Coconut oil cooking spray or Extra Virgin Olive Oil for greasing
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius) to prepare for baking the egg muffins.
- Prepare Muffin Tin: Lightly coat a muffin tin with coconut oil cooking spray or use a paper towel to apply a thin layer of Extra Virgin Olive Oil to each cup. This prevents sticking and helps the muffins release easily.
- Slice Turkey Bacon: Take each slice of turkey bacon and cut it down the center so you have two thinner pieces. Then cut one of the halves in half again to create two shorter sections and one longer section per slice.
- Assemble Bacon Nest: Wrap the long strip of turkey bacon around the inside edge of each muffin cup to form a lining. Lay the two shorter pieces across the bottom of the muffin cup inside the bacon lining to create a base for the egg.
- Add Eggs and Bake: Crack a single egg into each prepared muffin cup over the turkey bacon nest. Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 13 to 15 minutes, adjusting time depending on your preferred doneness of the egg.
Notes
- Use fresh eggs for best taste and texture.
- Adjust baking time slightly if you prefer runnier or firmer yolks.
- Turkey bacon adds a lean protein option with lower fat compared to pork bacon.
- These muffins can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated quickly for convenient meals.
- Greasing the muffin tin well prevents sticking and ensures easy removal.
