Print Recipe

These savory quiche cups combine crispy bacon, tender spinach, and a rich egg custard baked in muffin tins for a quick and delicious breakfast or brunch option.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 4 oz cooked bacon, chopped
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped onion
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  • Nonstick cooking spray or butter (for greasing muffin tins)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease your muffin tin cups generously with nonstick spray or butter.
  2. Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess grease on paper towels and reserve some bacon fat.
  3. In the same skillet with about a teaspoon of bacon fat, sauté the chopped onions until soft and translucent, about 3 minutes. Add chopped spinach and cook until wilted, about 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined and frothy.
  5. Stir the cooked bacon, sautéed spinach and onions, shredded cheese, salt, pepper, and garlic powder into the egg mixture until evenly distributed.
  6. Pour the mixture evenly into the prepared muffin tins, filling each about 3/4 full.
  7. Bake on the middle rack for 18-22 minutes, or until quiche cups are set and lightly golden on top. A toothpick inserted should come out clean.
  8. Let the quiche cups cool in the pan for 5 minutes before removing carefully with a butter knife or small spatula.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs for a creamier custard. Sauté spinach and onions to prevent soggy quiche cups. Tent with foil if edges brown too quickly. Rotate muffin tin halfway through baking for even cooking. Can substitute frozen spinach if thawed and drained well.
