Bacon, cheese and egg bites 2sp

 

Something different for breakfast today 😀 So much flavor in every bite!

What's great about these bites is that you can use what you have. I used turkey bacon, asiago cheese, egg and jalapeno's. You could use goat cheese, regular bacon, roasted tomatoes, cream cheese, peppers whatever you like and whatever you have!

I used a mini muffin tin today. 

My turkey bacon is wide so I cut it in half length wise and then cut it in small strips for the mini muffin tin.

I put the bacon in first then added the egg.

I put a dob of cream cheese in each and topped with a jalepeno 

• 1 egg whisked 0sp
• 1 tbsp Zerto asiago cheese 1sp
• 1 slice turkey bacon 1sp
• jalapeno slices

I baked them at 325 sorry I wasn't checking the time as I can see in the window but it would be approximately 8-10 minutes or until puffed up.

Makes 6 mini muffins for 2sp!
