Instructions:
Step 1:
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a 12-count non-stick muffin tin.
Step 2:
Saute 6 oz of bacon on a large non-stick skillet over medium heat for 6 to 8 minutes until brown. Once done, transfer to a plate. Keep only 2-3 tablespoons of oil in the pan and remove the excess. Using the same pan, saute finely chopped onion for 2 minutes or until softened.
Step 3:
While cooking the onion, grate the potato into the large holes of a box grater, then squeeze them with your hands to remove as much water. Pat dry with paper towels. Once onions are softened, put the grated potato. Saute for 7 minutes until potatoes are golden and nearly cooked through. Remove from heat and let it cool for a while.
Step 4:
Whisk 8 eggs, 1/2 cup half and half, and 2 tablespoons of tabasco sauce in a medium bowl. Add the sauteed potatoes, chopped spinach, and 1 cup of cheese to the bowl and stir.
Step 5:
Pour and evenly distribute the mixture among 12-count muffin tins. Once done, sprinkle with bacon and remaining cheese. Place in the oven and bake at 375 degrees F for 22-23 minutes or until puffed and lightly browned. (You can use a toothpick and insert it in the center, if it comes out clean the muffins are done baking)
