INGREDIENTS:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 bone-in turkey breast (6 to 7 pounds), completely thawed
- 1 teaspoon dried minced garlic (or 1/2 tsp. garlic powder)
- 1 teaspoon seasoned salt
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- Gravy instructions are included below in the recipe notes
- 1 cup chicken broth or stock (or water)
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Preheat the oven to 375° F.
- Slice bacon into bite-sized pieces, then fry in a skillet until golden brown. Set aside to drain fat.
- Reserve 1 tbsp of the bacon grease and saute the onion and green peppers over medium heat until they are soft. Set aside to drain on a paper towel.
- In a medium-sized bowl, crack 10 eggs, then add heavy whipping cream, Worcestershire sauce, pepper, salt, and a dash of nutmeg. With a whisk, beat the eggs until the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
- Combine the green peppers, onion, chopped spinach, and ¾ of the crumbled bacon in another bowl and distribute the filling amongst the muffin tins.
- Add the Monterey jack cheese to each cup, followed by the cheddar.
- Distribute the egg mixture evenly amongst each muffin tin.
- Top each cup with your reserved bacon. Then sprinkle parsley and red pepper flakes on top. *Optional
- Bake for approx 18-22 minutes or just until a knife comes out mostly clean. Make sure not to burn. I take them out before they turn brown. If you like them, "wet" undercook them a few minutes.
- They will puff up with steam as they bake but sink a bit when you take them out of the oven. That's normal!
