Jalapeno, Bacon, Zucchini Muffin
by Chef Mareya Ibrahim

Ingredients:
  • 1 muffin pan
  • 6 cage-free or organic eggs
  • 6 pieces of nitrate-free bacon
  • 1/2 zucchini, grated
  • 6 small pieces of fresh mozzarella or 2 tablespoons feta cheese
  • A dab of room temperature coconut oil
  • Smoked sea salt
  • White pepper
  • Dried tarragon
  • Jalapeno oil to brush on bacon (optional)
You can make your own jalapeno oil by soaking whole jalapenos in a cup of extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) or you can use prepared chili oil.

Directions:
  • Pre heat oven to 400 degrees Farenheit.
  • Grease each muffin cup with a little coconut oil.  Use a paper towel to rub the oil into the cup.
  • Brush each piece of bacon with a little jalapeno, or chili, oil for kick.  You can omit this step if you like.
  • Position each bacon slice around the circumference of each muffin cup.
  • Crack an egg into each liner keeping the yolks intact.  
  • Place a spoon of grated zucchini on top of each egg.  
  • Top with a slice of mozzarella or pinch of feta cheese.  
  • Season each egg cup with a small amount of smoked sea salt, white pepper and dried tarragon.  You can also add smoked paprika if you like it hot and spicy.
  • Bake for 8-9 minutes or until the eggs are firm.  
Makes a great brunch dish.  Serve by placing on a plate and cutting the egg in half and separating the two sections slightly.
