Ingredients
  

6 large eggs

1 cup freshly shredded cheddar cheese

1/2 cup cooked bacon, crumbled (approximately 6 slices, cooked until crispy)

1/2 cup finely chopped bell peppers (red, green, or a mix for color)

1/4 cup sliced green onions

1/4 cup milk (whole or your preferred type)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and black pepper to taste

Cooking spray or muffin liners for easy release

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a standard muffin tin by greasing it with cooking spray or lining it with muffin liners for easy removal after baking.

    Cook the Bacon: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon slices and cook until they are nice and crispy. Once done, remove the bacon from the skillet and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess grease. Once they have cooled slightly, crumble the bacon into small, bite-sized pieces.

      Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, crack the eggs and pour in the milk. Whisk them together until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Add the garlic powder, onion powder, and season with salt and pepper. Continue to whisk until all ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.

        Incorporate Cheesy Goodness: Gently fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, chopped bell peppers, and sliced green onions. Mix until all ingredients are evenly distributed within the egg mixture.

          Fill the Muffin Tin: Using a ladle or measuring cup, carefully pour the egg and ingredient mixture into the prepared muffin tin. Fill each muffin cup about three-quarters full to allow room for puffing up while baking.

            Bake to Perfection: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven. Bake for approximately 18-20 minutes, or until the muffins have puffed up and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, indicating that they are fully cooked.

              Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the muffin tin from the oven and let it cool for about 5 minutes. Carefully remove the muffins from the tin (you can use a knife to gently loosen them if needed) and transfer them to a wire rack to cool slightly. These muffins can be enjoyed warm or left to cool to room temperature.

                Storing Leftovers: If you happen to have any leftovers, place them in an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat individual muffins in the microwave for a quick grab-and-go breakfast.
