This is our take on the traditional ‘pigs in blankets’. These little muffins are surprisingly easy to make.

Makes 9

Ingredients

  • 1 tsp Lucy Bee coconut oil
  • 9 slices of streaky bacon
  • 6 medium eggs
  • 30g/1oz fresh coriander (cilantro), chopped
  • Pinch of Himalayan salt and ground black pepper

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/gas mark 4. Grease 9 cups of a deep cupcake tray with the coconut oil.

  2. Stick one slice of bacon onto the inside of each cup. Crack the eggs into a mixing jug and add the coriander (cilantro) and some seasoning. Whisk well and pour into each cup, to come around halfway up each one.

  3. Bake in the oven for 16–18 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the middle of one of the muffins comes out dry.
