Bacon Spinach Egg Bake Recipe

As a new mom of two, this was definitely on repeat. I could swirl around my kitchen during witching hour and still feel like I put together one heck of a meal. In fact, this recipe stands out for a reason– convenient ingredients, easy to prep, and also a healthier dish.

You already learned my love for canned biscuits in my French Toast Bake. Here, they are again, baked into egg with savory bacon, gooey cheese and sprinkled with spinach.

What is an Egg Bake?

An Egg bake is an homestyle casserole that incorporates egg, cheese, meat, and a starch like bread or hash brown potatoes. There’s a ton of variations and it seems like you can pretty much throw in whatever you want and bake it up.

Call me biased, but mine is my favorite based on taste and ease!

Why make Bacon, Spinach, Egg Bake?

• One slice delivers everything you crave and need– Carbs, protein, and greens!
• Using bacon bits are easy and elimiate fat/grease vs frying bacon
• Biscuits give a puffy, pastry taste of your favorite quiche
• One pan serves many– perfect for leftovers, hosting a brunch or blessing your neighbor with a meal

What ingredients do I need?

• Canned biscuits— I told you about all the great benefits for keeping a can on hand here. They’re quick and easy and bubble up PERFECTLY every time.
• Eggs— great way to get key nutrition (protein, fat, vitamins). Even if you’re not an egg fan, give it a try. My daughter who would throw eggs across the room will shovel this in by the fist full.
• Bacon bits– Gives the taste of bacon without the work and grease. Bonus– Shelf stable prior to opening, easy to store and tastes marvelous . Look for packages that say “real bacon bits.”
• Non fat Milk– Always my go-to when scrambling eggs for rich, creamy nutrition.
• Spinach— Fresh spinach leaves. Or even easier, frozen fresh spinach. Stick around here and you’ll learn to keep your fresh leaves in the freezer so all you have to do is crumble them in.
• Cheddar Cheese– Shredded cheddar cheese makes this extra delicious.
• Garlic powder-The combination of bacon bits with garlic powder and spinach is ah-mazing
• Salt and Pepper-Sprinkle in to taste for extra flavor but totally optional.
