Equipment

  • 1 muffin pan

Ingredients

  • 9 Fresh eggs
  • 3 cups Spinach
  • 5 Cherry Tomatoes
  • 1 pound Bacon
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350ºF.
  • Wash the spinach and chop.Wash and slice the cherry tomatoes in half.
    slice spinach
  • Slice the bacon into small pieces.
    cooking bacon
  • Place in a medium size pan on the stovetop with medium heat to cook the bacon for about 7-10 minutes. When it is brown and crispy bacon, remove it on paper towels to absorb the grease.
    taking bacon out of pan
  • In a large bowl, whisk large eggs until foamy and pale yellow and all yolks are broken. ( I used aluminum foil cup liners inside the muffin pan with cooking spray but can use a muffin pan and spray with cooking spray.)
    mixing eggs
  • Season with garlic powder or whatever spice you prefer. Fill each muffin cup with spinach bacon, then pour the eggs mix into the tin ¼ inch from the top. Place half of the tomato slice on top and sprinkle garlic.
    pour egg in muffin pan
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes until egg mix is fully cooked on top.
    putting pan in oven
  • Remove from the oven and place on a cooling rack. Add salt and black pepper as desired.

Notes

  • Drain the bacon on a paper towel to illuminate the grease when it goes into the muffin pan.
  • I usually add 1 egg to each muffin.
