Delicious Egg & Bacon Muffins

If you’re anything like me, weekday mornings are a total whirlwind. Between trying to get out the door, sorting the kids, packing lunches, and maybe managing a quick cuppa (if you’re lucky), breakfast often ends up being the last thing on the list. That’s why I absolutely love these Delicious Egg and Bacon Muffins—they’re quick to make, full of flavour, and ideal for batch cooking. I can whip up a batch on a Sunday night and have breakfast sorted for the next few days. They’re perfect for busy mornings when you want something filling and satisfying but don’t have the time to cook from scratch.

Equipment

  • Muffin Tray [Preferably Silicone]

Ingredients

  • 6 Large Eggs
  • 4 Lean Bacon Medallions [all visible fat removed, finely chopped]
  • 1 Small Onion [Peeled, very finely diced]
  • 40g Reduced Fat Cheddar Cheese [Grated]
  • Low-calorie Cooking Spray
  • Salt and Pepper, to taste

Instructions

Oven Bake Method

  • Preheat your oven to 180°C (fan) / 200°C / Gas Mark 6. Lightly spray a non-stick muffin tray with low-calorie cooking spray.
  • Fry the bacon and onion in a frying pan over medium heat with low-calorie spray for 5–7 minutes until the onion is soft and the bacon is cooked. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
  • Beat the eggs in a large jug, season with salt and pepper, then stir in the grated cheese and cooled bacon and onion mix.
  • Pour the mixture evenly into 8 muffin holes, filling them about three-quarters full.
  • Bake for 20–25 minutes until the muffins are set, golden on top, and slightly risen.
  • Cool slightly, then remove from the tin and enjoy warm or allow to cool completely before storing.

Air Fryer Method

  • Preheat your air fryer to 160°C (if your model allows preheating). Use silicone muffin cases or a metal muffin tin that fits your air fryer basket.
  • Fry the bacon and onion in a frying pan over medium heat with low-calorie spray for 5–7 minutes until the onion is soft and the bacon is cooked. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
  • Beat the eggs in a large jug, season with salt and pepper, then stir in the grated cheese and cooled bacon and onion mix.
  • Pour the mixture evenly into 8 muffin holes, filling them about three-quarters full.
  • Air fry at 160°C for 12–15 minutes or until set and golden on top. Check around 12 minutes, as cooking times can vary between models.
  • Allow to cool slightly before removing from the cases.
