Potato Bottom Breakfast Cup

I've been on this breakfast kick and I'm not sure whether I want it to end. Particularly not after the "to go" breakfast I made the other day. This dish is most of my favorite breakfast foods rolled into one. With a little bit of healthy spinach so I don't feel bad. Hey, enjoying food is part of enjoying life.

It takes a little time upfront but it makes getting out the door much easier. It's my little way of making sure I take care of myself in the morning. Best way to do that is to have breakfast in the morning right? It's the perfect balance. A bit of potato, one egg, one slice of bacon a little cheese and spinach. I think I've covered all of the major food groups with this one.
