Ingredients

Instructions

  • Pre-heat the oven to 375° F and grease a muffin tin.
  • Add the butter to a large skillet over medium heat.
  • Sauté the minced bell pepper in the melted butter for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the peppers begin to soften. Then remove the peppers from the skillet and set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy whipping cream, salt, and pepper.
  • Stir in the bell pepper, chopped tomatoes, basil, crumbled bacon, and shredded cheese, mixing everything together well.
  • Then pour the egg mixture into the muffin tin, filling each muffin cup about 3/4 of the way full.
  • Bake at 375° F for about 30 minutes, or until the egg muffins are fluffy, not jiggly, and have reached 160° F with a meat thermometer.
  • Allow the muffins to cool for 2 to 3 minutes in the pan; then run a table knife around the edges of the muffin cups, and pop the muffins out onto a wire rack to cool. 
  • Serve immediately with your favorite toppings and sides!

Notes
