    In a skillet, cook the bacon pieces over medium heat until crispy, about 6 to 8 minutes. Remove and drain on a paper towel.

    While the bacon cooks, chop the lunch meat and bell pepper into small pieces.

    4

    In a mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk together with salt and pepper until well combined.

    In a greased muffin tin, start layering by placing one piece of bacon at the bottom of each muffin cup.

    6

    Next, add a piece of lunch meat and some chopped bell pepper to each cup.

    7

    Pour the whisked eggs evenly into each cup, filling them about 3/4 of the way full.

    8

    Sprinkle cheese on top of each cup.

    9

    Bake in the preheated oven for about 18 to 20 minutes, or until the egg is set and the tops are slightly golden.

    10

    Allow to cool for a few minutes before carefully removing them from the muffin tin.
