Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with oil or nonstick spray.

  2. Step 2

    Wrap 1 slice of bacon around the inside of each muffin cup, pressing it against the sides and bottom to form a cup shape.

  3. Step 3

    Bake the bacon cups for 10 minutes, until they start to crisp but are still pliable. Remove from the oven.

  4. Step 4

    Carefully crack 1 egg into each bacon cup, being careful not to break the yolk. Sprinkle each with a pinch of black pepper.

  5. Step 5

    Return the muffin tin to the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still slightly soft.

  6. Step 6

    Let the bacon egg cups cool in the pan for 2 minutes, then run a knife around the edges to loosen them. Serve warm.
