Easy Breakfast Egg Muffins with Bacon Recipe

Busy families need recipes that have ingredients that are easy to find and don't take tons of special equipment to make. I completely understand, I'm a busy Mom to two teenage boys who are seemingly impossible to fill-up some days. These egg muffins are versatile and making them individual size means that each one could be personalized to suit everyone's taste, and all baked at the same time. Leave out the bacon for the non-meat eaters at your table, adapt using a different kind of cheese or replace chives and shallots with green onions. The sky's the limit!
