Instructions

1

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.

2

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.

3

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.
