Bacon and Egg Cups

Jump to Recipe - Print Recipe

Bacon and egg cups make a fun, tasty meal; at home or for breakfast on-the-go.Bacon and Egg CupsNothing says good morning quite like a breakfast of eggs and bacon. On Saturdays, John cooks up the strips of bacon in a skillet while Nicole and I prepare the eggs.

We’re a big family and everyone has their favorite. Some of us like our eggs sunny side up, others hard-boiled, but we all agree that they’re delicious scrambled up soft and fluffy.

For Easter weekend, I wanted to make an extra special breakfast so I decided to put a new spin on bacon and scrambled eggs with these delicious little egg cups stuffed with broccoli and wrapped in strips of bacon.

They make a fun, tasty meal; at home or for breakfast on-the-go.

Bacon and Egg Cups

Instructions

*Free printable recipe card is available at the end of the post.

To make these egg cups, you will need a muffin tin. Make sure to butter each muffin cup well so that the egg and bacon do not stick. 

I partially cooked the bacon beforehand in a skillet as the bacon will take longer to cook than the egg. I then wrapped each muffin cup with one strip of bacon before pouring in the raw whisked egg.

These egg cups are a creative way to make use of leftovers. The night before I had made broccoli sautéed in garlic and oil. I added a few pieces of broccoli to each egg cup along with freshly grated aged parmesan cheese.

finished in a muffin panI love how these egg cups are perfect for a big family.

Since you’re making them in a muffin tin, you can tailor each one to each person’s taste, adding in whatever ingredients you’d like and seasoning with your favorite herbs.

For those of you who like poached eggs, you can crack an egg over each bacon wrapped muffin cup, season with salt and pepper, and bake for about 15 minutes until the egg whites are just set.

Any way you make them, they’re sure to be a hit. Just bake in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes, watch them puff up beautifully, and breakfast is ready!finished dish with berriesThis recipe is a must-try if you love scrambled eggs and bacon as much as we do. Sprinkle in your favorite vegetables for a healthy treat. Enjoy! Happy Easter!

    This recipe looks so good! Do you think I could replace the bacon for vegetarian style bacon?

      Yes, just this morning my son asked me to cover his with a slice of gruyere cheese. He gave it the thumbs up.

    That looks so good, though as a vegetarian, I’d use veggie bacon. It seems pretty easy to put together, too! Thanks for sharing!
