Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 6 large eggs
  • 4 slices smoked turkey bacon, chopped
  • 1/2 cup plant-based cheese, shredded
  • 1/4 cup chopped spinach or bell peppers (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Olive oil or cooking spray, for greasing muffin tin

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a muffin tin with olive oil or cooking spray. Chop the smoked turkey bacon and any vegetables you want to add. Beat the eggs in a large bowl until fully combined and slightly frothy.
  2. Mix the Filling: Stir the plant-based cheese, chopped turkey bacon, spinach or peppers (if using), and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural) into the beaten eggs. Season with salt and pepper. Mix well to distribute ingredients evenly.
  3. Fill and Bake: Pour the egg mixture evenly into the muffin tin cups, filling each about three-quarters full. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until muffins are set and lightly golden on top. Test doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean.
  4. Cool and Serve: Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for a few minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely or serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Beat eggs thoroughly to incorporate air for fluffier muffins.
  • Fill muffin tins only about three-quarters full to avoid spills and ensure even cooking.
  • A small pinch of natural gelling agent in the eggs can improve texture and help muffins hold their shape.
  • These muffins keep well in the refrigerator for up to 4 days and freeze for up to 2 months.
  • Distribute mix-ins evenly across muffin cups for consistent flavor in every bite.
