*This post is sponsored by Jennie-O but all opinions are my own.*

I’m always trying to think of new breakfast ideas to feed my family. We are huge bacon lovers, but are trying to eat healthier and have loved making the switch to turkey bacon.

Jennie-O Turkey Bacon is gluten free, low in sodium and low in calories and fat. You just can’t go wrong.

How to make the recipe:

To make this recipe, I started by spraying a muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray and putting a piece of turkey bacon around the edge of each cup.

Next, I filled each cup with a small circle of bread at the bottom and topped it with an egg, salt and pepper, cheddar cheese and green onions.

After cooking at 375 degrees F for 30 minutes, I pulled them out of the oven and they were ready to eat. It was all I could do to let them finish cooking, because they smelled SO GOOD.

Could I make these with pork bacon instead of Turkey bacon?

You could easily use any bacon for this recipe. However, we highly recommend the turkey bacon for the nutritional benefits.

I also prefer the taste over pork bacon. It tastes more fresh, less heavy, and still has an amazing bacon flavor to it.

You will love it, I promise.

Can you freeze these after they have been cooked?

You could easily freeze these after they have been cooked, and reheat them as needed. We don’t recommend keeping them in the freezer for longer than two weeks.

We also recommend them fresh, because they lose that amazing texture, once they have been frozen and reheated.

    We haven't tried freeing these but they last for 3 to 4 days in the fridge in an airtight container and still taste fresh.

  5. JB says:

    Does the yolk stay runny in the middle or does it get cooked through?

  6. Cyd says:

    It cooks up pretty good.

  7. Nichole says:

    Can you beat the egg before putting it in the pan?

  8. Cyd says:

    You can but it might creep under the edge of the bacon easier.
