Breakfast Muffins

My three year old daughter is not a lover of food. Which makes my job as a parent harder. I had grand plans pre-parenthood about being an amazing parent. I thought I would lovingly create homemade baby food for my baby - cooking organic veggies and pureeing them. And I did that. And she haaaaated them. She still hates vegetables (except raw spinach, go figure), so I try to add them to things that I know she loves. She loves eggs. And I love saving time. LOVE it. Things I can make in advance are my favorite. So I found this recipe on Pinterest and decided to make them...I chose bacon and spinach.

Ingredients


1/2 pound bacon, breakfast sausage or ham
1 cup bell pepper, onion or chopped spinach
8 large eggs
1/4 cup milk (or half & half...whatever blows your skirt, you sassy thing, you.)
1/2 tbsp vegetable oil
1/2 tsp baking powder
salt and pepper to taste
grated cheese as needed

Directions


1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

2. In a large saute pan, medium high heat, cook your chosen meat. Remove from heat and stir in your chosen veggie. Or you could be a lazy turd and use pre-cooked meat like I did!

3. Whisk together eggs, milk, oil and baking powder. Season with salt and pepper.


(This is my kickass Texas Ware bowl. The greatest bowl ever made. I inherited it from my Gammy.)

4. Lightly spray a 12 section muffin pan with cooking spray. Spoon out the meat and veg evenly into each section.

5. Ladle the egg mixture over the meat and veggies. Fill each cup three quarters of the way full.



6. Sprinkle with cheese

7. Bake for 15-20 minutes.



And serve!
