Directions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a muffin tin.

- Divide the crumbled bacon and cooked spinach evenly among the muffin cups.
- Pour the whisked eggs over the bacon and spinach, filling each cup about ¾ full.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the eggs are set and slightly golden on top.
- Remove from the oven and allow the egg cups to cool for a few minutes.
- Run a knife around the edges of each cup and gently lift them out of the muffin tin.
