instructions
    1

    Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).

    2

    In a mixing bowl, crack 6 eggs and whisk them together until fully combined.

    3

    Add 8 ounces of cream cheese to the bowl and mix it until smooth. You can use a hand mixer for easier blending.

    4

    Next, fold in 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, 1 cup of chopped spinach, and 1 diced bell pepper into the egg mixture.

    5

    Season with 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, mixing until all ingredients are incorporated.

    6

    Grease a muffin tin or use silicone baking cups to prevent sticking.

    7

    Pour the egg mixture evenly into the cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

    8

    Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the tops are set and lightly golden.

    9

    Remove from the oven and allow the bites to cool for about 5 minutes before carefully removing them from the tin.

    10

    Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy!
