Instructions
Preheat and Prep the Pan
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease 6 cups of a standard muffin tin with cooking spray. This ensures the bacon and eggs release easily after baking.
Line with Bacon
Wrap one slice of bacon around the inside edge of each greased muffin cup, pressing it against the sides to form a ring. The bacon will crisp up and hold its shape while baking.
Add the Eggs and Bake
Crack one egg into the center of each bacon lined muffin cup and season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top and bake for 15 to 18 minutes until the egg whites are fully set.
Cool Slightly and Serve
Let the bacon egg cups cool in the pan for 2 to 3 minutes before carefully removing with a spoon. Serve warm. Kids love eating these handheld little cups for a fun and filling breakfast.
