- ¼ teaspoon paprika

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a standard 12-cup muffin tin, set aside.
- In a large skillet, over medium heat, cook diced bacon until it just starts becomes soft.
- Add minced garlic and onion and cook until bacon begins to brown.
- Add vegetables, cover and cook for 5-10 minutes or until the veggies are soft and bacon is browned, stirring occasionally.

Notes
Ingredient Substitutions
- Bacon. You can use turkey bacon just add 1-2 TBS olive oil when cooking. Breakfast sausage works well too.
- Minced Garlic. Garlic powder can be used in place of minced garlic, just add it with the rest of the spices.
- Onion. I usually use a sweet, white onion. Any variety works well: red onion, yellow onion, green onions, etc.
- Vegetables. Choose your favorite veggies! Bell peppers, broccoli, shredded zucchini, carrots, etc.
- Dijon mustard. Any mustard variety works well.
- Cheddar Cheese. I recommend an extra sharp cheddar cheese for the best flavor! Other cheeses that taste great in this egg muffin recipe are: Colby jack, Swiss cheese, pepper jack (for a spicy flavor) and mozzarella.
