Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large Eggs
- 6 slices Bacon strips
- 1 cup Spinach (fresh)
- 0.5 cup Bell pepper (diced, any color)
- 0.5 cup Cherry tomatoes (quartered)
- 0.25 cup Green onions (chopped)
- 0.5 cup Cheddar cheese (shredded, optional)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 as needed Cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Spray a 12-cup muffin tin lightly with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until they start to crisp but are still pliable (about 3-4 minutes). Remove and allow them to cool slightly.
Line each muffin cup with one bacon strip, forming a circle around the edge. If needed, trim the bacon to fit.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, and black pepper until combined.
Add the spinach, diced bell pepper, cherry tomatoes, green onions, and cheddar cheese (if using) to the egg mixture and stir gently to combine.
Pour the egg and veggie mixture evenly into the bacon-lined muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the egg cups are set and lightly golden on top.
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the egg cups cool for 5 minutes before carefully removing them from the tin with a small spatula or knife.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave for 20-30 seconds before serving.
