Ingredients
- 8 Eggs
- 6 slices Turkey bacon
- 1 cup (fresh, chopped) Spinach
- 1 (medium, diced) Bell pepper
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 spray (for greasing muffin tin) Cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray.
Step 2
Cook the turkey bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove, chop into small pieces, and set aside.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, and ground black pepper until well combined.
Step 4
Add the chopped spinach, diced bell pepper, cooked turkey bacon pieces, and shredded cheddar cheese to the egg mixture. Stir gently to combine.
Step 5
Spoon the egg mixture evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the egg muffins are set and the tops are lightly golden.
Step 7
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the muffins rest for 5 minutes before carefully running a knife around the edges to release them.
Step 8
Serve warm, or allow the muffins to cool completely before storing them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Reheat in the microwave for 20-30 seconds as needed.
