1/3 cup chopped onion
4 eggs
1/2 tsp Salt and pepper, to taste
1/4 tsp pepper
1 1/2 cups half-and-half
1 (10 oz) pkg frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
1 1/2 cups grated cheddar cheese
1 (8 oz) can water chestnuts, drained and chopped
12 slices soft white bread, trimmed

Preheat oven to 350. In a small skillet over medium heat, cook bacon and onion until bacon is crisp and onion is tender. Remove from heat, drain and set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, beat eggs with salt, pepper and half-and-half. Stir in spinach, cheese water chestnuts and bacon mixture. Set aside.

Spray each slices of bread with butter-flavored cooking spray. Press one slice, sprayed side down, into each muffin cup so that corners come up over the edges of cup. Spoon about 1/4 cup spinach mixture into each bread-lined cup. Sprinkle with paprika. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until knife inserted in center comes out clean.
