Packed with protein and healthy fats, they're not only satisfying but also easy to make. The combination of eggs, bacon, cheddar cheese, and jalapenos creates a savory and slightly spicy muffin that is perfect for busy mornings or even as a snack.

Ingredients:

9 eggs
500g
3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
180g
9 bacon strips
110g
9 oz cheddar cheese
260g
1 dash salt
0.40g
1 dash black pepper
1/10g
1/4 cup jalapeno peppers
22g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Bacon:
- 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.
3. Mix the Egg Batter:
- 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.
4. Prepare the Cheese and Jalapenos:
- Shred the cheddar cheese if it isn't pre-shredded.
- Finely chop the jalapeno peppers, removing the seeds if you prefer a milder heat.
5. Combine Ingredients:
- Stir in the crumbled bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped jalapeno peppers into the egg mixture. Mix until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
6. Prepare the Muffin Tin:
- Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray or line it with silicone baking cups for easy removal.
7. Fill the Muffin Tin:
- Evenly pour the egg mixture into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about ¾ full.
8. Bake the Muffins:
- 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.
9. Cool and Serve:
- 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.

These Keto Jalapeno Bacon Cheddar Breakfast Muffins are a fantastic addition to your breakfast routine. They're easy to prepare, packed with flavor, and perfect for meal prepping. Enjoy them fresh out of the oven, or store them in the fridge for a quick, ready-to-eat breakfast throughout the week.
