- Preheat Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare Muffin Tin:
- Lightly grease a muffin tin with cooking spray or butter.
- Cook Bacon:
- In a skillet, cook the bacon until it’s partially cooked but still flexible. You want it to be pliable enough to line the muffin cups.
- Line Muffin Cups:
- Line each muffin cup with a slice of bacon, creating a ring around the edge. This forms the “cup” for the egg.
- Crack Eggs:
- Carefully crack one egg into each bacon-lined muffin cup.
- Season:
- Season each egg with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
- Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes or until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still slightly runny. Adjust the baking time based on your preference for egg doneness.
- Garnish:
- If desired, garnish with chopped fresh herbs like chives or parsley.
- Serve:
- Carefully remove the bacon and egg cup muffins from the muffin tin and serve them hot.
Variation:
- Cheese:
- Sprinkle grated cheese over the eggs before baking for an extra layer of flavor.
