Hot muffins

This week I decided to go to Aldi because I like their bacon. I already had eggs and cheese, but I needed bacon and veggies. When I got to Aldi, they didn't have mixed veggies, so I bought some peas and some corn instead.

Slided chunks of bacon, or chunks of bacon slices?

Chunks of bacon slices. I also crushed a couple of cloves of fresh garlic and added them to the bacon.

I wasn't trying to cook the veggies here, but they were slightly frozen, So I threw them in with the hot bacon and turned off the heat. Then I let them sit while I mixed up the eggs.

I also added some dehydrated onions, lots of cayenne, a little salt, and a good amount of black pepper from my grinder. Since this mixture has cooled already, I decided to try mixing in the shredded cheese instead of adding it on top later.

It's always fun (annoying) to try to distribute the mixture evenly. It's one of the reasons I like using a cake pan most of the time. But the muffins are easier to eat so sometimes it's worth the effort. And it's a nice change when things are getting monotonous. 

Dividing the egg mixture evenly is also difficult, but I got these pretty close to even. This mixture was just eggs and heavy cream, because the seasoning was already in the bacon/veggie mixture.

Close enough for me! I had sprayed each cup with coconut oil before adding the mixture, and there is a lot of fat in the muffins anyway, so they popped right out once they had cooled.

After they were pretty well cooled, I put them into plastic containers and then into the fridge.

These muffins are nice and spicy, and the bacon is really delicious. It's worth spending extra money for good bacon! I still like the mixed veggies better than only corn and peas, but these muffins are still pretty darn good.

I eat two of them each morning. I just throw them on a plate and microwave for one minute. Spicy food goes great with coffee, so these are a quick and delicion breakfast. And they are packed with protein!
