- 4 tablespoons red bell pepper
- 4 slices pepperoni
- 1/8 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 4 tablespoons cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Use a muffin tin and either grease it well or use one of these silicon muffin pans.
- Finely dice the cherry tomatoes and red bell pepper.8 cherry tomatoes, 4 tablespoons red bell pepper
- Lay two slices of pepperoni flat in each muffin cup to form a little base and cover the sides.4 slices pepperoni
- Crack one egg into each cup. You can keep the yolk whole or gently whisk it with a fork.4 large eggs
- Add a spoonful of chopped tomato and pepper, then top with shredded cheddar cheese. Sprinkle on sea salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.1/8 teaspoon sea salt, 1/8 teaspoon black pepper, 1 teaspoon paprika, 4 tablespoons cheddar cheese, 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the cheese is melted and golden. Let them cool slightly before lifting out.
Notes
- Don’t have cherry tomatoes? Swap with 2 tablespoons finely chopped regular tomato or Roma tomato. Avoid extra juicy ones to keep the muffins from getting soggy.
- Not into bell peppers? Try green onions, chopped spinach, or even a pinch of dried herbs like oregano or parsley.
- Prefer the yolks set? Bake closer to 20 minutes instead of 15.
- Make-ahead tip: These store well in the fridge for 3–4 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer for the best texture.
- Freezer-friendly: Let them cool, wrap individually, and freeze for up to 1 month.
