HOW TO MAKE BACON EGG MUFFINS

1. Start off by whisking together your eggs in a 4-cup measuring cup or a mixing bowl and seasoning them with salt, pepper and your favorite seasonings.
2. Divide evenly among muffin cups (about 1/2 – 2/3 cups full) and add mushrooms, spinach and bacon.
3. I like lining my muffin tin with these silicone liners since they are guaranteed to pop out easily without sticking. If you don’t have silicone liners, be sure to grease the muffin tins with a non-stick cooking spray.
4. Pop these in the oven at 400 F and once cooled, you can store them in resealable bags or glass containers. Keep them in the fridge (or freezer) and every morning, heat one up in the microwave for 30-40 seconds. Breakfast is ready to go!
5. With a batch of these tasty bacon and spinach egg muffins, you’ve got a healthy breakfast when you’re on the run each morning.
