Ingredients
  

8 large eggs

1 cup turkey bacon, chopped into small pieces

1 cup fresh spinach, roughly chopped

1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite)

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

Cooking spray or a drizzle of olive oil for greasing

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a standard muffin tin with cooking spray or a light drizzle of olive oil to ensure the egg cups don’t stick.

    Cook the Turkey Bacon: In a medium skillet, over medium heat, add the chopped turkey bacon. Cook it for about 5-7 minutes, or until crispy and browned. Once cooked, transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess grease.

      Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, crack all eight eggs and whisk them together until the yolks and whites are fully combined and frothy. Season the eggs with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well to incorporate the seasonings evenly.

        Combine Ingredients: Add the roughly chopped spinach, halved cherry tomatoes, the crispy turkey bacon, and shredded cheese into the egg mixture. Gently stir until all the ingredients are well combined, ensuring that the spinach and tomatoes are well distributed.

          Fill the Muffin Tin: Carefully pour the egg mixture into each muffin cup, filling each one about three-quarters full. This allows room for the eggs to expand while baking.

            Bake: Place the filled muffin tin into your preheated oven and bake for approximately 18-20 minutes. The egg cups are done when they are puffed up and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

              Cool and Serve: Once baked, carefully remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the egg cups cool for about 5 minutes. To release them, run a small knife around the edges of each cup, then gently lift them out of the tin. Serve warm and enjoy!
