Cheesy Bacon Egg Cups : Convenience Is Our Preferred Method
We especially love this method for breakfast. Most people these days are getting up early to hit the gym or get into work early so, naturally, there is a loss of time to fill up with a hearty breakfast.
That’s where these bacon egg cups come in for the win! We keep it pretty simple with this recipe while still amping up on the flavor and macros to get your day started off just right!
Our biggest tip for this recipe is to try and pack as much as you can into each cup. Don’t worry about them overflowing, that’s only a good thing in this case. Once you pop them in the oven they will rise and fall, becoming a perfectly dense, cheesy, bacon packed egg cup.

INGREDIENTS
12 large eggs
6 slices bacon
3 oz Shredded Cheddar Cheese
INSTRUCTIONS
Start by cooking the bacon. This can be done on the stove top or in the oven. Since we will be using the oven anyway, I find it easiest to just use that. Bake bacon for 30-40 minutes at 350 degrees.
Allow bacon to cool. Crack a single egg into cup of a muffin tin.
Chop bacon into 1/4 inch pieces and add 1/2 strip of bacon to each egg cup.
Add 0.25 oz of cheddar cheese to each egg cup.
With a fork, break each yolk and stir the ingredients together lightly.
Bake egg cups for 25-30 minutes at 350 degrees.
