Spinach and bacon egg cups are a classic breakfast or brunch dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. They're perfect for meal prep, as they can be made ahead of time and reheated when you're ready to eat. Plus, they're a great way to get your kids to eat their veggies! This recipe for spinach and bacon egg cups is a bit of a twist on the classic. I've added some chopped onion for extra flavor and texture, and I've used Greek yogurt instead of milk in the egg mixture. This gives the egg cups a slightly tangy flavor and makes them a bit more filling. I've also included some tips on how to make the perfect spinach and bacon egg cups. First, make sure to cook the bacon until it's crispy. This will give the egg cups a nice smoky flavor. Second, don't overcook the spinach. You want it to be wilted, but not mushy. And finally, don't be afraid to experiment with different ingredients. You can add chopped bell peppers, mushrooms, or tomatoes to the egg mixture. Or, if you're feeling cheesy, sprinkle on some extra Parmesan or cheddar before baking.
