Bacon Egg Cups Recipe
Description
This recipe involves precooking bacon until just partially cooked, then lining muffin tin cups with the bacon slices to form a ring. Raw eggs are cracked into each bacon-lined cup, sprinkled with grated Parmesan, and seasoned with salt and pepper. Baking at 375°F for 13 to 16 minutes produces eggs cooked to the preferred doneness—shorter time yields softer yolks, longer time results in firmer yolks.
Once baked, the cups are removed carefully and finished with chopped green onions for freshness and color. The bacon wrapping crisps further in the oven while the egg sets, creating a contrast of textures. This preparation is convenient to portion and serve at breakfast gatherings.
They can be made ahead by baking, cooling, and refrigerating or freezing. Reheat before serving, adding green onions fresh for garnish to maintain their crunch and color.
Ingredients
- 6 lices Bacon thick cut recommended
- 6 large egg
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan Cheese grated
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons green onions chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375ºF. Spray muffin pan with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
- Cook bacon over medium heat for 5-8 minutes. Remove the bacon before it is fully cooked and dry on a paper-towel lined plate.
- Arrange each slice of bacon around the edge of each muffin cup, creating a circle around the edge.
- Crack one egg into each bacon wrapped muffin cup and sprinkle with parmesan cheese. Bake 13 - 16 minutes, based on your preference for the egg consistency. At 13 minutes, the egg yolk will be more soft-boiled and at 16 minutes, more hard-boiled consistency.
- Remove each cup from muffin pan with a spoon and serve with a sprinkle of salt, pepper, and the green onions.
Notes
- The recipe can be adjusted in quantity to make any number of cups needed.
- When preparing ahead, bake eggs for 13 minutes, cool, store in an airtight container refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for up to a month.
- Reheat before serving and add green onions fresh after warming to preserve their texture and flavor.
