Bacon is one of my favorite breakfast foods. And these little Bacon and Egg Muffins are a great way to start the day.
I don’t know about you, but I love having healthy foods prepared in the fridge for busy days. Making egg muffins is a great way to make sure that your family is fed nutrient-dense food even when you are in a hurry.
Egg muffins are easy to whip up, and store well in the fridge for up to a week. I like to make a batch at the beginning of the week for easy, grab and go meals and snacks. Loaded with protein, they are perfect for breakfast, lunch, and post-work out snacks.
The recipe is simple. I use ten pastured eggs and some delicious local bacon. I add a bit of spinach to sneak in some greens. My kids love these savory muffins. I often grab one out of the fridge on my way out the door. They travel well.
Bacon is my favorite addition, but feel free to use pre-cooked breakfast sausage if you like. I have also made variations using a titch of smoked paprika and even cayenne pepper. Italian spices are also good. Feel free to experiment.
Enjoy!

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350’F. Line a muffins pan with silicone liners or unbleached muffin liners. (I like to lightly oil my silicone liners.)
- In a skillet, melt fat of choice over medium heat. Saute spinach for about a minute until it begins to wilt. Turn off heat. Add chopped bacon pieces and fresh herbs. Mix to combine.

Now that we’ve discovered how much easier egg muffins are in silicone muffin cups we make them a lot more (used to HATE how hard they were to clean up). So these look like a delicious combo that we will be trying for sure!

Egg muffins are almost always in my meal prep line-up for quick breakfasts. So great for grab-and-go on busy mornings! I love that you added spinach to these and the bacon will have my family seeing all the heart eyes. And I’ll be sitting back, thrilled that I didn’t need to bust my butt in the kitchen on a Tuesday morning so that they could have an awesome nourishing breakfast. Thank you!
These look so delicious + bacon which is pretty much my favorite thing ever! Plus they’re individual and portable – so convenient to eat a healthy breakfast when it looks like this!

Hope your friend loves them. 🙂
Is it 1 muffin per serving
I’m not sure what you are asking. This recipe makes 12 egg muffins. 🙂
They are asking how many of those 12 total are considered one serving. I’m curious as well.
The recipe makes 12 muffin cups. 🙂
