Cook Mode

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Preheat your oven to 350F (180C). Use a muffin tin and either grease it well or use one of these silicone muffin pans.
Finely dice the cherry tomatoes and red bell pepper.
Lay two slices of pepperoni flat in each muffin cup to form a little base and cover the sides.
Crack one egg into each cup. You can keep the yolk whole or gently whisk it with a fork.
Add a spoonful of chopped tomato and pepper, then top with shredded cheddar cheese. Sprinkle on sea salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the cheese is melted and golden. Let them cool slightly before lifting out.

Notes

Don’t have cherry tomatoes? Swap with 2 tablespoons finely chopped regular tomato or Roma tomato. Avoid extra juicy ones to keep the muffins from getting soggy. Not into bell peppers? Try green onions, chopped spinach, or even a pinch of dried herbs like oregano or parsley. Prefer the yolks set? Bake closer to 20 minutes instead of 15. Make-ahead tip: These store well in the fridge for 3–4 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer for the best texture. Freezer-friendly: Let them cool, wrap individually, and freeze for up to 1 month.
