Skip the drive through today.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

If I never hear the words “Egg McMuffin” it won’t be soon enough.  All the years of driving and trying to find something for breakfast I have finally had enough of the golden arches egg dishes. The last trip we did to Asheville we stopped once for a chicken biscuit; and after a few bites I’m liking the chicken, of course, but not the biscuit. The finally on the trek home I decided to try the cinnamon roll. Of course, that is a lot higher in calories and sugar but at least it wasn’t another Egg McMuffin, or biscuit of some type.<\/p>\n

I’ve made a version of this Spinach Bacon Egg Muffin before but never got around to posting it. So, when I came across this recipe, it was so pretty I just had to make it. And mine pretty much looked like Eat Drink Love’s version except I made my muffins in mini muffin pans.<\/p>\n

This recipe is very versatile and you can make whatever adjustments you want.  I changed her bacon to real bacon because I do not like anything that is suppose to taste like something else.  Same with the cheese; I used normal cheddar cheese not reduced fat. For a change, try crumbled sausage and swiss and maybe some mushrooms. Some other ingredients I have in mind to try the next time will be saut\u00e9ed bell peppers, green onions, asparagus with Swiss would be great. Bottom line, put whatever you want in with the eggs and give them a bake. You will enjoy them whatever you decide to put in yours.<\/p>\n

I made 24 mini muffins from this recipe instead of 6 larger muffins. Refrigerate any leftovers and enjoy in the next couple of days; just give then a nuke for a few seconds. I’m topping my leftovers with some salsa.<\/p>\n
