Ingredients

  • Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a muffin tin.
  2. Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove from the pan and place on a paper towel to drain excess grease. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into small pieces.
  3. In the same skillet, add the chopped spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
  4. In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs together. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. Divide the crumbled bacon and cooked spinach evenly among the muffin cups.
  6. Pour the whisked eggs over the bacon and spinach, filling each cup about ¾ full.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the eggs are set and slightly golden on top.
  8. Remove from the oven and allow the egg cups to cool for a few minutes.
  9. Run a knife around the edges of each cup and gently lift them out of the muffin tin.
  10. Serve the low-carb bacon spinach egg cups warm and enjoy!
