These simple Bacon Spinach Egg Muffins are a tasty way to kick start your day. They’re easy to make and come ready-made in individual servings. They can be personalized to suit your taste using cooked sausage, diced ham, or mushrooms for a meatless version if that’s your pleasure.
The incredible egg just never gets old. It’s amazing how versatile they are and for me, they make a meal any time of the day. Whoever started the saying “Real men don’t eat quiche” never met my boys, they love quiche, egg muffins breakfast casseroles and brunch bakes. I make these individual egg muffins often for many reasons not the least of which, they’re super simple to make. After whisking together the eggs and seasonings, stir in the remaining ingredients then divide evenly between the muffin cups and bake until puffed and golden. These egg muffins reheat well too, so they’re handy and waiting for your hungry eaters when they’re ready to eat.

Great recipe Melissa. I need to get me some biscuit mix and I’ll be taking these to work (I need all the energy I can get). I bet they micriwave well too.
Melissa says
Hi Linda, they sure do. You could fudge with All-purpose flour but add baking powder and salt to adapt. [around 1/4 tsp each] Thank you!

Love this and trying to print but getting 3 pages. How do I print recipe only? I did uncheck the images box.
Melissa says
If you chose the remove images feature, it should have been reduced to one page.
Melissa Sperka says
Hi Janet, I always prefer freshly made but, these muffins do reheat well, so, the choice is yours depending on time.
Roxy says
Great recipe, cam you use milk?
Melissa says
Yes, it will change the texture and flavor but, you can.

I was looking for a recipe where I could put a “disc” of whole wheat bread at the bottom of the muffin tin. Your recipe looks so yummy!! I’ll have to figure out how to tweak your recipe so there is enough filling since some will soak into the bread. Thanks for sharing!!
Melissa says
These would work, sure.
Holly says
I”m wondering if cutting the self-rising flour to 1/4 cup and maybe adding an extra egg and a little more cream would work. Hmmm… 🙂
