This easy breakfast recipe combines the grounding protein of crisp bacon and fluffy eggs with vibrant, healthy vegetables like tomatoes, zucchini, and spinach. It’s a convenient, self-contained dish as well with the use of bacon drippings as a cooking fat. Feel free to use cherry tomatoes instead for additional tang, or chop some fresh basil and add at the same time as the spinach for extra flavor.
