Bake in preheated oven about 15 - 18 minutes until cheeses are golden and tomatoes are tender.

  4. Add spinach, diced bacon, and onion mix to the egg mixture you created earlier and stir to combine everything. Ladle the egg mixture into the muffin pan evenly. Cook for 15 minutes, or until light golden brown.

Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
