Ingredients

Scale

1 pound (450g) ground chicken
8 slices turkey bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 cup diced fresh tomatoes
4 large eggs, beaten
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Spray oil for greasing

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners and spray with oil.
In a bowl, mix ground chicken, turkey bacon, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Divide chicken mixture into 12 cups, pressing into the bottom and halfway up the sides.
Top each cup with 1 tbsp chopped tomatoes, 1 tbsp cheese, and a spoonful of remaining turkey bacon.
Pour 1/3 egg mixture over each cup to bind ingredients.
Bake for 20 minutes or until golden and set around edges.

Notes

Use silicone muffin cups for easy cleanup.
Freeze uncooked cups for up to 2 months—extend bake time to 30 minutes.
For extra flavor, add 1/4 cup spinach or avocado to the egg mixture.
