Time 1h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

cooking spray
4 slices thick-cut bacon, diced
½ (12 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
4 mushrooms, chopped
¼ green bell pepper, chopped
2 slices onion, chopped
1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste
6 eggs
1 tablespoon heavy whipping cream
1 ¼ cups shredded Colby-Jack cheese, divided
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 pinch onion powder
1 pinch garlic powder

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray 12 muffin cups with cooking spray.
  • Cook and stir bacon in a skillet over medium-high heat until crisp, about 10 minutes. Transfer bacon to a bowl, reserving bacon grease in the skillet.
  • Combine spinach, mushrooms, green bell pepper, onion, salt, and ground black pepper to taste in the skillet with bacon grease; cook and stir until softened, about 5 minutes. Transfer vegetable mixture to a bowl and place in the freezer to cool, about 5 minutes.
  • Whisk eggs and cream together in a bowl; stir in 1 cup Colby-Jack cheese, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder. Add cooled vegetables and bacon to egg mixture and mix gently.
  • Scoop 1/4 cup egg mixture into each muffin cup; top each with remaining Colby-Jack cheese.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until egg cups are set, about 20 minutes.

These egg cups are a great way to use up leftover spinach. I always have a bag of spinach in my fridge and I'm always looking for new ways to use it.

I had a hard time getting the egg cups to come out of the muffin tin. I think I'll grease the tins next time.
