Ingredients

• 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 12 slices bacon
• 5 large eggs
• 1 cup 2% milk
• 1 cup frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
• 0.25 cup heavy cream
• 0.5 medium onion, minced

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Step 2

Place bacon slices in a single layer on a bacon rack or foil-lined, rimmed baking sheet, making sure they do not overlap.

Step 3

Bake in the preheated oven until browned and crisp, 10 to 11 minutes. Remove from the pan and drain bacon slices on a paper towel-lined plate.

Step 4

Increase the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with some of the rendered bacon fat.

Step 5

Saute onion and garlic in a little bacon fat over medium heat until translucent, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat.

Step 6

Beat milk, eggs, and cream in a mixing bowl with an electric mixer until fluffy. Add spinach, Cheddar cheese, and the cooked onion mixture. Season with salt and pepper and mix with a spatula to combine.

Step 7

Make a ring of bacon by running a slice around the sides of each muffin cup. Scoop egg mixture into the center of each bacon ring.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the centers comes out clean, about 15 minutes.
