Chopped green bell pepper
Roughly chopped baby spinach
Chopped onions
Cooked and crumbled bacon

How to Make Sriracha Bacon Breakfast Egg Muffins
1 — Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2 — To make the bacon crumbles: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until they are crispy. (We used 8 slices). Remove the bacon and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into small pieces.
3 — In the same skillet over medium heat, using a teaspoon of the bacon grease or some cooking oil, sauté the garlic, onions, spinach, and diced green and red bell peppers and onions until they become soft and tender, about 4-5 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir, then set aside.
4 — In a large mixing bowl, crack the 8 eggs and whisk them together. Add in crumbled bacon, sautéed and vegetable mix. Then, stir in as much Sriracha sauce as you like. Mix everything well to combine. Adjust the Sriracha to your preferred level of spiciness. (We like things spicy so we used 2-3 tablespoons of the hot sauce.)
5 — Pour the egg mixture evenly into a greased cupcake pan or muffin pan. Fill each slot nearly to the top. We used a cupcake pan for smaller bite-sized egg muffin cups. If you opt for muffin tins, please be aware that your egg muffin cups will be larger than pictured.
6 — Bake for 15-18 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a toothpick comes out clean or until the breakfast muffins are set in the middle and the tops are slightly golden.
7 — To make the topping: While the breakfast egg muffins are baking, combine the The Laughing Cow® White Cheddar Cheese Wedges into a bowl and stir until it’s nice and fluffy.
8 — When the egg cupcakes are cool enough to eat, pipe or spoon a dollop of the whipped White Cheddar Cheese Wedges on top, and serve immediately.
Recipe Notes and Tips
More mix-in ideas:
Play with the flavors by adding or substituting the mix-ins. Some delicious ideas: shredded cheddar, cooked ground breakfast sausage, ham, green onions, egg whites, cooked spinach, diced potatoes, tomatoes and more.
How to keep the egg cups from sticking:
It is really important to use a non stick cooking spray and to evenly spray and grease the pan. If you are using a silicone muffin pan, you do not have to grease it. However, it doesn’t hurt to do so to ensure that the muffins easily pop out.
Make sure to also allow the muffins to cool before removing them, about 10 minutes. Run a butter knife around the muffins to loosen them.
How to Store and Reheat Your Breakfast Muffins
If you’re meal prepping like us, store them in an airtight container. Consume them within 3-4 days.
Or freeze them in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Thaw the frozen muffins in the refrigerator overnight before reheating them.
To reheat, simply microwave the muffins for 20 to 30 seconds.
