Rinse spinach to remove grit, then add to the skillet with mushrooms and season with salt to help release water.

Add butter to the skillet with mushrooms and spinach.

Once the mushrooms and spinach are cooked, remove from heat and let cool briefly.

Chop chives or green onions and add to the mixture.

Add bacon bits and shredded cheese to the mixture, reserving some cheese for topping later.

In a bowl, crack 6 eggs and add 1/4 cup milk, mixing until combined.

Add white pepper, salt, garlic powder, and onion powder to the egg mixture and mix well.

Smash cream cheese into the egg mixture to break it up for easier blending.

Pour the egg mixture into a greased muffin pan, filling each cup about 3/4 full, leaving some headspace for expansion while baking.

Top each muffin cup with reserved shredded cheese.

Bake in the oven until set, about 20-25 minutes.
