Baked Cheese and Bacon Egg Cups

Carefully crack one egg into each muffin cup over the bacon and cheese. Be cautious not to break the yolk, unless you prefer scrambled eggs.

6. Add cream (optional):

For a creamier texture, drizzle a little bit of heavy cream over each egg. You can also skip this step if you prefer the eggs to be firmer.

7. Season:

Season each egg with salt and pepper to taste. You can also add other seasonings or herbs of your choice.

8. Bake:

Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and the yolks are cooked to your liking. For softer yolks, check at 12 minutes; for firmer yolks, bake a bit longer.

9. Serve:

Once the egg cups are done, remove them from the oven. Let them cool for a minute or two before gently removing them from the muffin tin. Garnish with fresh herbs like chives or parsley if desired.

Tips:

• Customization: Feel free to add extra ingredients to the cups, such as sautéed spinach, diced tomatoes, onions, or bell peppers.
• Cheese variety: Use your favorite cheese, such as cheddar, gouda, or feta, to change up the flavor.
• Meal prep: These egg cups can be made in advance and stored in the fridge for a few days. Simply reheat them in the microwave for a quick breakfast.
