🥩 Bacon, 1⁄3 cup cooked and chopped: Smoky and crisp with caramel edges, deep savory satisfaction that anchors appetite and keeps cravings quiet.
🍄 Spinach, 1⁄4 cup chopped: Tender greens that melt into the custard, gentle earthiness and fiber that support calm energy and clean blood sugar balance.
🥛 Eggs, 6 large: Silky structure and golden richness, high quality protein that fills you fast and steadies late morning hunger [Study]
🧂 Sea salt and black pepper, to taste: Mineral lift and warm pepper bloom, brightens every bite and sharpens flavor focus for effortless control.
🥩 Cheddar cheese, 1⁄2 cup shredded: Creamy pull and savory tang, slow melt that coats the palate and delivers long lasting satisfaction.
🌶️ Optional add ins, 2 to 3 tbsp diced bell peppers, mushrooms, or onions: Color and sizzle, a clean spark that raises aroma and nudges happy anticipation without sugar.
🧈 Heavy cream, 1⁄3 cup: Velvet gloss that keeps the center tender, comforting fats that fuel steady focus and reduce snack chasing.
🍋 Avocado oil or butter for greasing, about 1 tsp: Light richness that releases cleanly from the tin, a small touch that protects texture and keeps mornings smooth.
1. Heat the oven to 350°F and grease a six cup muffin tin with about 1 tsp avocado oil or butter, or set silicone liners.
2. Whisk 6 eggs with 1⁄3 cup heavy cream, a pinch of salt, and a few grinds of pepper until glossy and airy.
3. Fold in 1⁄2 cup shredded cheddar, 1⁄3 cup cooked bacon, and 1⁄4 cup chopped spinach, add any 2 to 3 tbsp diced peppers, mushrooms, or onions.
4. Divide the mixture evenly into the six cups, filling each to about three quarters full, smooth the tops.
5. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes until domed and just set, the centers hold a gentle wobble that promises creaminess.
6. Place the pan on a rack, slide a thin knife around each cup, lift slowly and let the steam rise like a calm exhale.
7. Serve warm for soft comfort or cool for grab and go ease, enjoy steady mornings without decision fatigue.
⚠️ DO NOT SKIP: Let the muffins rest for three minutes before removing. This is where steam settles, the custard firms, and comfort takes root.
By Day 3, this routine becomes a craving reset. You will want the calm, not the carbs.
