Directions
Step 1 –Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Step 2 –Lightly coat a 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick spray.

Step 8 –Add the mushrooms and the bell pepper to the bacon fat and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are tender, about 4-5 minutes.
Step 9 –Stir the egg mixture into the mushroom mixture until the eggs are completely set, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 10 –Stir the spinach, 1/4 cup of the cheese, and the cooked bacon into the egg mixture until the spinach has wilted, about 2 minutes.
Step 11 –Spoon the egg mixture into the hashbrowns and evenly sprinkle each with the remaining cheese.
Step 12 –Bake the hashbrown cups until the cheese has melted, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 13 –Serve.
