Bacon Spinach and Mushroom Egg Muffins

Bacon Spinach and Mushroom Egg Muffins loaded with crisp bacon, meaty mushrooms, and baby spinach. An excellent source of protein and full of healthy veggies, these portable mini frittatas are nutritious as they are delicious!

Bacon Spinach and Mushroom Egg Muffins have been a true lifesaver back in the days when I had an “outside” job and had to rush out most mornings to work. I would make a few dozens over the weekend, freeze them in airtight containers, and then quickly zap a couple of pieces in the microwave to bring along on my early commute.

And now that I am a full-time blogger and work from home, these mini frittatas are still one of my favorite pick-me-ups when I need a quick energy boost throughout the day.

These egg muffins freeze well for future use, are conveniently portable for on-the-go snacking, and are also easily customizable. In fact, I think I should call them “Everything but the Kitchen Sink Egg Muffins” instead. Because really, you can pull them together with (almost) whatever you have in the fridge or pantry and they’ll be equally scrumptious.

Ricotta, sun-dried tomatoes, crumbled sausage, cubed ham, sweet peppers, scallions, caramelized onions, artichoke hearts, kalamata olives, asparagus tips, broccoli florets, zucchini, fresh basil, chopped tomatoes…the options are (almost) limitless!

I like using my silicon pan when baking these egg muffins as I find them easier to remove even when hot and fresh off the oven. If using a muffin tin, generously spray the insides of the tin with nonstick cooking spray or line with cupcake liners.  Make sure to allow the egg muffins to slightly cool before prying off the muffin tin to prevent from falling apart.
