Bacon Spinach Egg Muffins
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 and the mix-ins can easily be personalized o your personal taste.
Tips and Tricks
After whisking together the eggs and seasonings, stir in the remaining ingredients by hand. When dividing among the muffin cups, try to make sure the mix-ins evenly distribute among each muffin. Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese on top then 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.

Can I substitute with whole wheat flour?
Melissa
I haven't tested it, if you try it let us know how it goes.

Hi Melissa! I’m quarantined now because of Covid 19. Would frozen spinach work? No fresh spinach right now😩
Melissa
Hi Jil, sure, just make sure it's thawed and squeezed as dry as possible.
Holly
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... 🙂
Holly
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
These would work, sure.
Roxy
Great recipe, cam you use milk?
Melissa
Yes, it will change the texture and flavor but, you can.
Tracey
Can I make these and omit the flour?
Melissa
You can make egg muffins without flour however, this recipe is designed to be made the way it's listed.

Hi Janet, I always prefer freshly made but, these muffins do reheat well, so, the choice is yours depending on time.

If you chose the remove images feature, it should have been reduced to one page.

Love this and trying to print but getting 3 pages. How do I print recipe only? I did uncheck the images box.
Melissa
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!
Linda
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.
