Ingredients
•
12 slices bacon
•
1/2 medium onion, minced
•
3 cloves garlic, minced
•
1 cup 2% milk
•
5 large eggs
•
1/4 cup heavy cream
•
1 cup frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
•
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
•
salt and ground black pepper to taste
Directions
1
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
2
Place bacon slices in a single layer on a bacon rack or foil-lined, rimmed baking sheet, making sure they do not overlap.
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.
4
Increase the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with some of the rendered bacon fat.
5
Saute onion and garlic in a little bacon fat over medium heat until translucent, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat.
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.
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.
8
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the centers comes out clean, about 15 minutes.
