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.
