How to Make Baked Eggs In Bacon Wraps

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Cook 1 pound of bacon until soft and slightly transparent. (Fry in a large skillet over medium heat for about 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through).
  3. Drain bacon on paper towels. Let cool slightly.
  4. Gently line each slice of bacon around the inside of a 12-cup muffin tin, overlapping the ends as needed to create a cup shape.
  5. Crack 1 large egg into each bacon-lined muffin cup.
  6. Season each egg lightly with salt and pepper.
  7. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until egg whites are set and yolks are cooked to your preference.
  8. For extra moist egg tops, after 10 minutes of baking, carefully baste each egg with ½ teaspoon of water.
  9. Remove from oven using a small spatula and serve immediately on a plate.
  10. Serve with your favorite toast and fruit.

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!
