Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Place the bacon strips on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes until they are partially cooked but still pliable.
- Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly.
- While the bacon is cooking, finely chop the green pepper and onion.
- Sauté the green pepper and onion in a non-stick pan over medium heat until they are soft, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, crack the 8 eggs.
- Add the sautéed green pepper and onion, salt, black pepper, and 3 tablespoons of water.
- Whisk everything together until well combined.
- Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line it with silicone cupcake liners.
- Take each bacon strip and wrap it around the inside of each muffin cup to form a ring of bacon.
- Pour the egg mixture evenly into each bacon-lined muffin cup, filling each about 3/4 full.
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the eggs are fully set and puffed up.
7. Cool and Serve:
- Once baked, remove the muffin tin from the oven.
- Allow the omelet cupcakes to cool in the tin for a few minutes before carefully removing them.
- Serve warm or let them cool completely and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Tips:
- Pre-cook the bacon slightly before adding it to the muffin tin to ensure it turns out crispy.
- Feel free to add other veggies or even cheese for extra flavor. Just be sure to adjust the cooking time if you add more ingredients.
- Avoid overmixing the eggs to keep the omelet cupcakes light and fluffy.
- Use silicon muffin liners or non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
- Refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container for up to four days, or freeze them for longer storage. Simply reheat in the microwave or oven before serving.
