Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 Eggs
- 6 slices Turkey bacon
- 1 cup (fresh, chopped) Spinach
- 1 (medium, diced) Bell pepper
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 spray (for greasing muffin tin) Cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray.
Cook the turkey bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove, chop into small pieces, and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, and ground black pepper until well combined.
Add the chopped spinach, diced bell pepper, cooked turkey bacon pieces, and shredded cheddar cheese to the egg mixture. Stir gently to combine.
Spoon the egg mixture evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the egg muffins are set and the tops are lightly golden.
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the muffins rest for 5 minutes before carefully running a knife around the edges to release them.
Serve warm, or allow the muffins to cool completely before storing them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Reheat in the microwave for 20-30 seconds as needed.
