Ingredients

• 6 eggs
• 1 teaspoon butter
• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 1 pinch garlic powder
• cooking spray
• 1 clove garlic, minced, or to taste
• 3 tablespoons diced onion
• 3 tablespoons shredded Cheddar cheese, or to taste
• 6 slices center-cut bacon, cut into 1-inch pieces

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a muffin tin with cooking spray.

Step 2

Place bacon on a microwave-safe plate; cook in the microwave until slightly browned but still pliable, 2 to 3 minutes.

Step 3

Melt butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; cook and stir until onion is translucent, 3 to 5 minutes.

Step 4

Whisk eggs, garlic powder, salt, and pepper together in a bowl. Stir in onion and garlic mixture.

Step 5

Sprinkle a few pieces of bacon in the bottom of each muffin cup. Cover with half of the egg mixture. Add a few more pieces of bacon; top with remaining egg mixture.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 20 to 30 minutes. Sprinkle Cheddar cheese on top.
