- salt and pepper to taste
- Pepper
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.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
