Ingredients for Bacon Egg Cups

  • 6 large eggs
  • Turkey Bacon
  • Cheddar Cheese
  • Salt & Pepper

How to Make Bacon Egg Cups

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Spray a 6-cup muffin tin generously with cooking spray.
  3. Carefully line each muffin cup with one slice of bacon, pressing it gently against the sides to create a cup shape. Do not cover the bottom.
  4. Crack one large egg into each bacon-lined muffin cup.
  5. Sprinkle each egg with 1 tablespoon of shredded cheddar cheese.
  6. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the bacon is crispy.
  7. Let cool slightly before carefully removing from the muffin tin. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
