Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 slice thick cut bacon, diced
4 mushrooms, chopped
1/4 green bell pepper, chopped
2 slice onion, chopped
6 oz frozen spinach (or handful of fresh)
6 large eggs
1 Tbsp whipping cream or milk
1 1/2 c shredded cheddar or colby jack cheese
1/2 tsp salt
dash(es) pepper
dash(es) onion powder
dash(es) garlic powder

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • 2. I use silicone cupcake holders, so no need to grease the pan, but if you don't then spray a 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray well.
  • 3. In a medium skillet cook the diced bacon on medium high, stirring occasionally. When crisp, remove to a bowl to cool.
  • 4. In the same pan, using the bacon grease, add the mushrooms, bell pepper, onion and frozen spinach (you don't have to thaw but you can thaw before cooking). Add a little salt and pepper and cook on medium high, stirring, until spinach is thawed and vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes. Remove to a bowl with a slotted spoon and place in the freezer to cool.
  • 5. In a medium bowl, add eggs and whipping cream; Whisk to combine. Add 1 cup of the cheese (reserving the 1/4 cup for topping), salt, pepper, onion powder and garlic powder. Mix with a large spoon. Add cooled vegetables from freezer and mix gently.
  • 6. Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, pour 1/4 cup mixture evenly into all 12 tins. Top with the remaining 1/4 cup cheese and bake 20 minutes.
  • 7. Serve warm-makes 12
