Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon strips until they are crispy, about 6-8 minutes.
- Once cooked, place the bacon on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess fat.
- Once cool, crumble or chop the bacon into small pieces.
- In a large mixing bowl, crack the 9 eggs and whisk them well.
- Add the heavy whipping cream to the eggs and whisk until fully combined.
- Season the mixture with a dash of salt and a dash of black pepper.
- Shred the cheddar cheese if it isn't pre-shredded.
- Finely chop the jalapeno peppers, removing the seeds if you prefer a milder heat.
- Stir in the crumbled bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped jalapeno peppers into the egg mixture. Mix until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray or line it with silicone baking cups for easy removal.
- Evenly pour the egg mixture into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about ¾ full.
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the muffins are set and slightly golden on top. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your Keto Jalapeno Bacon Cheddar Breakfast Muffins!
Tips:
- Pre-cook the bacon until it's crispy before adding it to the muffin mix for an extra crunch.
- Customize the recipe by adding different types of cheese or vegetables like spinach or bell peppers.
- When whisking the eggs and heavy whipping cream, make sure they are fully combined for a fluffy muffin texture.
- Use silicone muffin molds or line your muffin tin with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easier clean-up.
- For an extra spicy kick, consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or using hotter varieties of jalapenos.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days, and reheat them in the microwave for 30-45 seconds.
- These muffins can also be frozen. Just wrap them individually and store in a freezer-safe bag. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
