Ingredients
  

  • 5 slices bacon coarsely chopped
  • 10 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup coconut flour
  • Kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper
  • 4 ounces baby spinach chopped (2 cups firmly packed)
  • 1/2 cup fresh ricotta
  • 1/3 cup prepared pesto sauce

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  • Add the bacon to a medium skillet over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until crisp, about 8–10 minutes. Transfer with a slotted spoon to a paper towel-lined plate. Use the accumulated bacon fat in the skillet to grease a standard 12-cup muffin tin.
  • In a large bowl, whisk to combine the eggs, milk, and coconut flour. Season with salt and pepper. Add the spinach and bacon and stir to combine. Divide among the muffin cups and top with the ricotta and pesto.
  • Transfer to the oven and bake until just cooked through, about 14–16 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.
