Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces bacon slices
- 6 large eggs
- 12 pieces cherry tomatoes
- 1 cup spinach leaves
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Lightly grease a 6-cup muffin tin with olive oil.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the bacon slices until they start to curl up and are halfway crisp, about 3-4 minutes per side. They should still be pliable. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.
Cut each cherry tomato in half. Lay a bacon slice around the inner edge of each muffin cup to form a ring.
Evenly distribute the spinach leaves and cherry tomato halves among the muffin cups.
In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, almond milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Pour the egg mixture into the muffin cups over the bacon, tomatoes, and spinach, filling each cup about three-quarters full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the eggs are set and slightly puffed.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
Serve warm. These muffins can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and can be reheated in the microwave.
