Ingredients

  • 12 slices bacon
  • 6 eggs
  • 1 jalapeno, minced
  • ½ cup finely shredded cheese of your choice (I used cheddar and Monterrey Jack)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped basil or cilantro

Instructions

  • Cook the bacon until just barely cooked (not crispy and still bendable). Remove to a paper towel covered plate to drain and cool. Preheat the oven to 400F. Spray 6 wells of a muffin pan with cooking spray.
  • Form a piece of bacon into as much of a circle as you can into 6 muffin pan wells, then form a ring of bacon around the well with an additional piece of bacon. Fill each well with a pinch of minced jalapeno and shredded cheese. Carefully crack an egg into each well. Top with additional cheese and basil.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, or until the eggs are set but still runny. Carefully remove from the pan with a serving spoon.
