Description

Imagine starting your day with a delightful and wholesome treat, or perhaps needing a quick, satisfying snack to power through your afternoon. These baked egg cups offer a versatile and delicious solution. They are incredibly easy to prepare and offer a symphony of textures and flavors that will leave you feeling both nourished and content.

Each cup begins with a velvety base of eggs blended with a splash of nut milk, creating a light and subtly creamy texture. Nestled within this delicate foundation are crispy bacon pieces, their smoky and savory notes dancing across your palate with each bite. The salty bacon is perfectly balanced by the fresh, earthy taste of spinach, adding a vibrant green hue and a boost of nutrients to every mouthful.

The beauty of these egg cups lies in their simplicity. The seasoning is intentionally kept minimal, allowing the natural flavors of the bacon, spinach, and eggs to truly shine. However, feel free to unleash your inner culinary artist and tailor the spices to your personal preferences.

A pinch of red pepper flakes can introduce a gentle warmth, while a sprinkle of dried herbs like thyme or rosemary can add an aromatic depth. These egg cups aren't just delicious; they're also incredibly convenient. They are ideal for preparing ahead of time, making them a perfect choice for busy weekdays or whenever you need a grab-and-go meal.

They store exceptionally well in the refrigerator for up to five days, ensuring that you always have a healthy and satisfying option readily available. Just be sure to let them cool completely before transferring them to an airtight container to maintain their optimal texture and freshness. These egg cups also align beautifully with a diet that emphasizes whole, unprocessed foods.

The absence of dairy allows the clean, natural ingredients to take center stage. You can enjoy the richness of healthy fats from sources like cooking oils, or incorporate additions like salmon, avocado, nuts, and seeds for an extra nutritional boost. For those who enjoy a cheesy flavor, consider adding nutritional yeast, which lends a savory, umami-rich note without any dairy.

Instructions

    1.
    Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Spray a 6-count muffin tray with non-stick cooking spray. Dice the bacon and cook in a skillet over medium heat until very crispy. This prevents excess fat release during baking.
    2.
    Use a slotted spoon to distribute the crispy bacon evenly into the muffin cups, reserving the bacon grease in the pan. Return the pan to the stove and add the spinach. Wilt the spinach over low heat, allowing it to soak up the flavorful bacon fat until fully cooked down.
    3.
    Distribute the wilted spinach on top of the bacon in the muffin cups. In a large measuring cup, whisk together the eggs, almond milk, and your preferred seasonings until well combined. Pour the egg mixture into the muffin cups, filling them to the top.
    4.
    Bake the muffin cups in the preheated oven for approximately 22 minutes, or until the egg cups are cooked through. The tops should be lightly golden, with slightly darker golden sides and edges. Let the egg cups cool for 5 minutes before removing them from the tray and serving.
