Ingredients

• 6 large eggs
• 0.25 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 6 plant-based bacon slices
• 0.5 cup red bell pepper, diced
• 1 cup spinach leaves, chopped
• 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 as needed non-stick cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

Lightly coat a 12-cup muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray.

Step 3

In a medium skillet over medium heat, cook the plant-based bacon slices until crispy, about 4-5 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to cool, then crumble them into small pieces.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and almond milk until well combined.

Step 5

Add the diced red bell pepper, chopped spinach, crumbled bacon, and shredded cheddar cheese to the egg mixture. Stir to combine.

Step 6

Season the mixture with salt and black pepper, and stir again to distribute the seasoning evenly.

Step 7

Pour the egg and vegetable mixture evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the egg cups are puffed and set in the middle.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve the veggie bacon egg cups warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
