Ingredients

6 eggs
3 strips cooked bacon, crumbled
2 tbsp coconut oil or butter
1 tbsp butter
1 oz cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup shredded Gouda cheese
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp black pepper

Directions

1
Preheat oven to 350&# 194;Â°F (175ÃÂ°C). Line a mini muffin tin with paper liners or grease lightly with butter.
2
In a small bowl, melt the butter and coconut oil. Set aside.
3
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until well combined. Add garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper.
4
In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, scramble the eggs until just set but still soft. Stir in the crumbled bacon.
5
Transfer the scrambled egg and bacon mixture to a large bowl. Add the softened cream cheese and shredded Gouda cheese. Mix until the cheeses are incorporated and the mixture is creamy.
6
Fold in the melted butter and coconut oil mixture, stirring gently to combine.
7
Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared mini muffin liners, filling each about three-quarters full.
8
Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the tops are set and lightly golden.
9
Remove from oven and let cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
