Breakfast Egg Muffins with Bacon and Spinach: These muffins make a great breakfast, lunch, or a snack to pack up for work, school, or a picnic! Just use a regular muffin pan for this recipe!
I love that these breakfast egg muffins are very easy to make, and all the ingredients in them constitute, basically, a classic breakfast. These muffins have protein (eggs), meat (bacon), vegetables (spinach), and cheese. What not to like? These will keep you full for a long time!

Hello Julia! First I want to say we are a fan of your muffin recipe. I’ve been making them since 2020.
I was just wondering how many of them is one serving? I did not see anywhere on your page.
Thank you,

Hi! These look great! Can they be frozen/refrigerated? If so, how long will they keep? Thanks!
We love these for breakfast on our low carb diet. I store some in fridge and some in freezer. Don't last long enough, but I double the recipe and they last over a week. Pack 2 in a baggie. 3o seconds in microwave and good to go.
Looks good! Can this recipe be made in a 13 X 9 casserole with a hash brown crust?
