Preparation

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a muffin tin with non-stick spray or butter.

5. Season and Add Cheese: Sprinkle each cup with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and cheddar cheese.

Bake

1. Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 15–20 minutes, depending on how runny or firm you prefer your yolks.

Cool and Garnish

1. Allow the bacon and egg cups to cool briefly before removing them from the tin. Garnish with parsley or chives for added flavor and presentation.

Serve and Enjoy
