Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 slices cooked bacon, diced
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup chopped spinach
- 0.5 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Spray a 6-cup muffin tin generously with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Divide the bacon, spinach, cherry tomatoes, and shredded cheese evenly among the muffin cups.
Pour the egg mixture into each muffin cup, filling them about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the egg cups are set and slightly golden on top.
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the cups cool for a few minutes before carefully removing them with a spoon.
Serve warm, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave for 30 seconds before serving.
