Ingredients
- 18 Slices Bacon (2 1/2 Slices Bacon per “Muffin”)
- 7 Large Eggs (1 Egg per “Muffin”)
- 1 Cup Cheddar Cheese (1-2 Tbsp. per “Muffin”)
- 4 Tbsp. Heavy Cream
- 1/2 tsp. Ground Black Pepper
- 1/2 tsp. Onion Powder
- 1/2 tsp. Celery Salt
- 1/2 tsp. Cayenne Pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven 375F.
- Grab your bacon, I normally used a thinner sliced bacon for this – otherwise it’s not as pliable and hard to form into the cupcake tray.
- Cut your bacon into half, you might want to save a few extra pieces in case they are needed to plug any missing holes in your bacon baskets.
- Start by putting half of a piece of bacon at the bottom of your cupcake tray.
- Go around the edges of the cupcake holes with bacon, pressing them down to connect all the bacon together. Add more bacon as needed to fill in any gaps.
- Let’s start on the eggs. Use 1 egg per fritatta that you have.
- Add 4 Tbsp. Heavy Cream, then add your spices – black pepper, onion powder, celery salt, and cayenne pepper.
- Whisk the mixture well until the egg mixture is scrambled and the spices are evenly distributed.
- Put 1-2 Tbsp. of cheddar cheese at the bottom of each bacon fritatta.
- Put about 1/4 cup of egg mixture into each bacon mold, trying your best to not let any egg leak out.
- Put them into the oven for 25 minutes, when they come out they will be puffed up – they will fall a little bit as they cool.
- Let them cool for 10 minutes and remove them from the cupcake tray.
- Serve and enjoy!
