Ingredients
- 2 slices Bacon
- 1 piece Large egg
- 2 tablespoons Shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 pinch Black pepper
- 1 as needed Nonstick cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Lightly spray the inside of a muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray.
Step 3
Take 2 slices of bacon and line the inside of one muffin cup, overlapping the slices to form a circular lining. Trim any excess bacon so it fits neatly.
Step 4
Place the muffin tin on a baking sheet to catch any grease that may spill over while baking.
Step 5
Bake the bacon-lined cup in the oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the bacon is partially cooked but not crispy.
Step 6
Carefully remove the muffin tin from the oven. Crack one large egg directly into the bacon-lined cup.
Step 7
Sprinkle a pinch of salt and black pepper on top of the egg.
Step 8
Add 2 tablespoons of shredded cheese over the egg, spreading it evenly.
Step 9
Return the muffin tin to the oven and bake for an additional 7-9 minutes, or until the egg whites are set, the yolk is cooked to your preference, and the cheese is melted.
Step 10
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let it cool for 1-2 minutes.
Step 11
Use a butter knife to gently loosen the edges of the baked bacon, egg, and cheese cup, then carefully lift it out of the muffin tin.
Step 12
Serve immediately and enjoy!
