Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 12-cup muffin tin.

  3. In a large bowl, whisk together 6 eggs, 1/2 cup cream cheese, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/8 teaspoon salt.
  4. Fold in 1 cup cheddar cheese, 1/4 cup green onions, and half of the chopped bacon into the egg mixture.
  5. Distribute mixture into muffin tin, filling each cup about ¾ full, and top with remaining bacon.
