Ingredients

8 Eggs
¼ Cup Milk
6-8 Slices Bacon (fried and crumbled)
½ Red Bell Pepper (finely chopped)
½ Onion (finely chopped)
1 Cup Zucchini (grated and squeezed of moisture)

Instructions

Begin by preparing the bacon. Fried the bacon until crisp and drain on the paper towel. Once the bacon is cool enough to handle crumble the bacon into bits.
In a small saucepan saute the onion and red pepper until they are softened and the moisture has evaporated.
Grate the zucchini and sprinkle with a bit of salt. Let this drain in a colander for 15 minutes. Then squeeze out any remaining moisture.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
In a large mixing bowl add the eggs, milk, onion, red pepper, zucchini, bacon, and cheese. Season with salt and pepper.
Pour the egg mixture evenly into a greased 12-cup muffin pan.
Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the center of each egg cup is no longer jiggly.
Let them cool for 15 minutes before removing them from the muffin pan.
Enjoy! This recipe can be doubled and tripled and the bites can be frozen. You can easily defrost them and enjoy them at any time.
