Ingredients
- 8 large eggs
- ¼ cup heavy cream
- 1 cup low-moisture mozzarella cheese shredded
- ½ cup Parmesan cheese freshly grated
- 1 cup cooked ground chicken cooled
- 12 pepperoni slices chopped
- ½ teaspoon salt or less to taste
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ cup cooked and crumbled bacon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F or 190°C. Grease all 12 cups of a standard muffin pan thoroughly with butter or nonstick cooking spray. Silicone muffin liners can also be used.
- Add the eggs and heavy cream to a large mixing bowl. Whisk until the yolks and whites are completely combined.
- Stir in the shredded mozzarella, Parmesan, cooked ground chicken, chopped pepperoni, salt, black pepper, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and bacon.
- Mix until the meat and cheese are evenly distributed. Stir the bowl occasionally while portioning because the heavier ingredients may settle at the bottom.
- Divide the mixture evenly among the 12 muffin cups. You will need approximately ⅓ cup of mixture for each one.
- Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, until the centers are completely set and the tops are lightly golden. The center of the muffins should reach 165°F or 74°C.
- Remove the pan from the oven and let the muffins rest for five minutes.
- Run a thin spatula or butter knife around the edges, then carefully remove the muffins from the pan. Serve warm or allow them to cool completely before storing.
