Last night I whipped this up and they were pretty good.

I used about 1/3 white onion, 4 slices of bacon, 4 mushrooms, about 5-8 spears of asparagus (I used mini asparagus), 10 eggs, and 4 slices of reduced fat cheddar cheese.

Sautee bacon in a pan. Remove bacon and let drain on paper towels. Boil asparagus, chop into 1/2 inch pieces and set aside. In bacon fat, sautee chopped onion and chopped mushroom. Chop bacon. In a bowl, mix chopped bacon, asparagus, onion and mushroom. Distribute evenly into 12 muffin greased muffin cups. (Note: I greased mine, but next time I will use muffin cups as removal was difficult.) In a separate bowl, whisk eggs. Distribute evenly among muffin cups, covering the veggie mixture. Bake @ 350. I can't remember how long I baked them for, I think it was maybe about 10-12 mins or so. Just keep an eye on it. I topped it off with 1/4 slice of cheese and put it back in the oven just long enough to melt.

Enjoy!

    I make these all the time, except no cheese while I'm doing paleo! I make about 12 at a time on a Sunday night and then refrigerate them for the rest of the week, pop em in the microwave, top with a little salt and pepper or hot sauce and it's a quick, healthy, and tasty breakfast!

    Great for reheating! Pop it in the microwave for 15 seconds before you run out the door!

    Can they be frozen, and then microwaved from the frozen stage? Do you know... ?
    Sounds so great!

    @kaecklund - don't use the paper liners - they don't peel off the eggs very well. I recommend sticking with spraying your pan or maybe using those rubber reusable cups. I haven't tried those yet. Or maybe even line the muffin cups with aluminum foil.
