Ingredients

• 6 pieces Vegetarian bacon strips
• 6 large Eggs
• 0.5 cup Red bell pepper, diced
• 0.5 cup Spinach leaves, chopped
• 0.25 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 tablespoons Milk (any type)
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 as needed Cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly spray a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray.

Step 2

Cook the vegetarian bacon strips in a skillet over medium heat according to the package instructions until crisp. Once cooled slightly, cut each strip in half and shape them into loops to fit inside the muffin cups, lining the sides to create a 'wrapper.'

Step 3

In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until fully combined.

Step 4

Evenly distribute the diced red bell pepper, chopped spinach, and shredded cheddar cheese into the prepared muffin cups.

Step 5

Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables and cheese in each muffin cup, filling them about three-quarters full.

Step 6

Bake the egg cups in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the eggs are set and slightly golden on top.

Step 7

Remove the egg cups from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes before carefully removing them with a small spatula or table knife.

Step 8

Serve warm, or cool completely and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
