Chef's Note

For the best texture, don't overmix the egg batter. The psyllium husk adds fiber while helping to bind the muffins. These muffins freeze beautifully - just microwave for 30-45 seconds to reheat from frozen for a quick keto-friendly meal on busy mornings.

Ingredients
  • 12 large eggs

  • 12 slices bacon

  • 4 cups fresh spinach

  • 1 cup cheddar cheese

  • 1/2 cup heavy cream

  • 1/4 cup almond flour

  • 1 medium red bell pepper

  • 4 stalks green onions

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1 teaspoon onion powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

  • 1 tablespoon psyllium husk powder

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions
  • 1

    Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 12-cup muffin tin with olive oil.

  • 2

    Cook 12 slices of bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 8-10 minutes. Remove, drain on paper towels, and chop into small pieces when cool enough to handle.

  • 3

    In the same skillet, add 4 cups of fresh spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Drain excess liquid and set aside to cool.

  • 4

    Dice 1 medium red bell pepper and chop 4 green onions.

  • 5

    In a large bowl, whisk together 12 large eggs and 1/2 cup heavy cream until well combined.

  • 6

    Add 1/4 cup almond flour, 1 tablespoon psyllium husk powder, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper to the egg mixture. Whisk until smooth.

  • 7

    Fold in the cooked bacon, wilted spinach, diced red bell pepper, chopped green onions, and 3/4 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese.

  • 8

    Divide the mixture evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

  • 9

    Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of cheddar cheese on top of each muffin.

  • 10

    Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the muffins are set and slightly golden on top.

  • 11

    Allow to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before removing. Run a knife around the edges to loosen if necessary.

  • 12

    Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
