Time 55m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 9

12 slices bacon
½ medium onion, minced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup 2% milk
5 large eggs
¼ cup heavy cream
1 cup frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Place bacon slices in a single layer on a bacon rack or foil-lined, rimmed baking sheet, making sure they do not overlap.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until browned and crisp, 10 to 11 minutes. Remove from the pan and drain bacon slices on a paper towel-lined plate.
  • Increase the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with some of the rendered bacon fat.
  • Saute onion and garlic in a little bacon fat over medium heat until translucent, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat.
  • Beat milk, eggs, and cream in a mixing bowl with an electric mixer until fluffy. Add spinach, Cheddar cheese, and the cooked onion mixture. Season with salt and pepper and mix with a spatula to combine.
  • Make a ring of bacon by running a slice around the sides of each muffin cup. Scoop egg mixture into the center of each bacon ring.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the centers comes out clean, about 15 minutes.
