Spinach, Egg and Bacon Breakfast Mini-Muffins

In preparation for a family Christmas party a few weeks ago, I spent some time trolling blogs and Pinterest looking for a delicious brunch recipe. Since our theme was "breakfast foods", I knew I wanted to whip up something with egg that was easy to bake and non-messy. That's when I stumbled upon this awesome recipe from The Cooking Jar and knew I struck gold. I swapped out the regular sized muffin tins for minis, as I like all food when it's cute and small. It's easy-to-make, savory, and will last you all week if you're not sharing with 20 others. ;]


Spinach, Egg, and Bacon Breakfast Mini-Muffins

Ingredients:
+ 12 large eggs, beaten
+ 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
  + 2 cups fresh spinach leaves, chopped
+ 6 slices bacon, chopped / ½ cup bacon bits (add more if desired)
+ 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
+ Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:
Mix together all the ingredients and whisk until smooth
Grease 2 mini muffin tins and fill each cup about ⅔ of the way full
Bake at 350 degrees F for 20-23 minutes or until a knife inserted in the middle of a muffin comes out clean
Cool for 5 minutes before prying muffins loose
Dish and serve hot
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Yields: about 32 mini muffins


They are so easy to make, you'll be amazed!
