Bacon and Spinach Egg Muffins with Avocado

Ingredients:
8 large eggs
6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 cup fresh spinach, chopped (or 1/2 cup frozen, thawed and drained)
1/4 cup heavy cream (or unsweetened almond milk for lighter option)
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
1 small bell pepper, diced (any color)
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil or butter (for greasing muffin tin)
1 ripe avocado, sliced or mashed (for serving)
Instructions:
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cook Bacon: If not already cooked, fry the bacon until crispy, then crumble it into small pieces. Set aside.
Prep the Muffin Tin: Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with olive oil or butter (or use silicone liners for easy removal).
Mix the Base: In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, heavy cream, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Add Fillings: Stir in the crumbled bacon, chopped spinach, diced bell pepper, and shredded cheddar (if using).
Fill the Tin: Pour the egg mixture evenly into the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake: Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the eggs are set and slightly golden on top. (A toothpick inserted should come out clean.)
Cool and Serve: Let the muffins cool for 5 minutes, then remove them from the tin. Serve warm with sliced or mashed avocado on the side or on top.
Serving Suggestions:
Pair with a simple side salad (e.g., arugula with olive oil and lemon) for extra freshness.
Add a dollop of sour cream or hot sauce if you like a kick.
