Bacon and Egg Cups: A Quick Breakfast Guide

Bacon and egg cups are a delicious, portable breakfast perfect for busy mornings. Here’s a simple guide to making them:

Ingredients: Eggs, bacon strips, salt, pepper, and optional toppings like cheese, spinach, or diced veggies.

Steps:

1. Prep the Bacon: Line a muffin tin with bacon strips, curling them to form cups. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 5–7 minutes until slightly crispy but not fully cooked.

2. Add Fillings: Place a small handful of spinach or veggies (if using) in each bacon cup. Crack an egg into each, careful not to break the yolk.

3. Season & Bake: Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and cheese (optional). Bake for 12–15 minutes until the whites set but the yolks remain runny. For firmer yolks, bake 2–3 minutes longer.

4. Serve: Let cool for 1 minute, then gently remove the cups with a spoon. Enjoy warm!

Tips: For meal prep, make ahead and refrigerate; reheat in the microwave. Customize with herbs, hot sauce, or avocado. These cups are not only tasty but also low-carb and packed with protein. A foolproof way to start your day right!
