Meal Prep Bacon Spinach Egg Bites/Quiche

As I get back into regular check ins with my Dietitian, eggs continue to be a huge part of my everyday meal planning.

Egg Bites/Quiche is a super easy way to not only incorporate eggs into my daily food intakes but also allows for a delicious meal, and not just simply eggs!

I found these egg bite/patty silicone molds on Amazon, that are perfect for making my breakfast meal prep as simplified as possible, and this recipe can be easily made into egg patties OR a traditional (crustless) quiche.
