Bacon Egg Cups

Source: Found on Pinterest

Ingredients

  • 12 slices of bacon (don’t use center-cut, too thin and not long enough)
  • 12 eggs
  • 1/2 c. shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2/3 c. diced assorted peppers (optional)
  • 1/4 c. diced onion or scallion onions (optional)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

Lay bacon on a baking sheet and bake at 400 degrees for about 8 minutes (do not overcook; need to be able to bend it).

Reduce oven temp to 350 degrees.

Grease a 12 cup Teflon coated muffin tin with canola oil (use a paper towel to coat) and set aside. Nonstick cooking spray doesn’t work well.

Whip the eggs, peppers, onions and cheese with a fork or wire whisk. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Wrap each piece of bacon inside the sides of each muffin cup.

Fill each bacon lined muffin cup ¾ of the way with the egg mixture.

Bake 25-30 minutes, until egg cups are golden brown and don’t jiggle.

NOTE: Let them sit in the pan 5 minutes to loosen, before removing them. Serve immediately.
