Ingredients

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.
