How to Make Bacon And Egg Cups

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Pre-cook bacon: Cook 4 slices of bacon in a microwave or skillet for 5-10 minutes, until mostly cooked but not crispy.
Prepare muffin tin: Grease a 6-cup muffin/cupcake tin. Line each cup with a slice of pre-cooked bacon, pressing it gently against the sides to create a cup shape. Ensure the bacon is not covering the bottom of the cup.
Crack eggs: Crack 1 large egg into each bacon-lined muffin cup.
Season and add cheese (optional): Sprinkle each egg with salt and pepper to taste. Add a sprinkle of shredded cheese (e.g., cheddar, Gruyere) if desired.
Bake: Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked to your liking. Cooking time may vary depending on your oven.
Serve: Let the bacon and egg cups cool slightly before carefully removing them from the muffin tin. They should easily pop out.
