Time 33m

Number Of Ingredients 14

10 eggs
8 slices bacon
½ medium onion (chopped)
½ medium green pepper (chopped)
2 oz spinach (finely chopped)
½ cup heavy whipping cream
1 ¾ cups cheddar cheese
¼ cup Monterey jack cheese
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1/2 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp salt
dash of nutmeg
½ tsp parsley (for garnishing)
½ tsp red pepper flakes (optional*)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375° F.
  • Slice bacon into bite-sized pieces, then fry in a skillet until golden brown. Set aside to drain fat.
  • Reserve 1 tbsp of the bacon grease and saute the onion and green peppers over medium heat until they are soft. Set aside to drain on a paper towel.
  • In a medium-sized bowl, crack 10 eggs, then add heavy whipping cream, Worcestershire sauce, pepper, salt, and a dash of nutmeg. With a whisk, beat the eggs until the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
  • Combine the green peppers, onion, chopped spinach, and ¾ of the crumbled bacon in another bowl and distribute the filling amongst the muffin tins.
  • Add the Monterey jack cheese to each cup, followed by the cheddar.
  • Distribute the egg mixture evenly amongst each muffin tin.
  • Top each cup with your reserved bacon. Then sprinkle parsley and red pepper flakes on top. *Optional
  • Bake for approx 18-22 minutes or just until a knife comes out mostly clean. Make sure not to burn. I take them out before they turn brown. If you like them, "wet" undercook them a few minutes.
  • They will puff up with steam as they bake but sink a bit when you take them out of the oven. That's normal!
