Preheat oven to 375F. Get all of the ingredients ready. Measure out and grate the cheddar. Prep the jalapeños by deseeding and dicing them, saving one to cut into rings as a garnish.
Partially cook the bacon so that it's semi-crisp but still pliable. Save the bacon grease in the pan.
Using a hand mixer, blend the eggs, cream cheese, chopped and seeded jalapeño peppers, reserved bacon grease, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt and pepper to taste.
Grease a muffin tin and line each well with a strip of partially cooked bacon.
Pour in the egg mixture, making sure not to fill them any more than two-thirds full, as these rise quite a bit.
Add the cheddar cheese on the top of the muffins along with a slice of jalapeño. Bake for 20–25 minutes.
Once cooked, remove from the oven and let cool. They will slowly deflate and turn into a delicious treat. Serve and enjoy!
