Egg and Bacon Cups
Individual baked eggs in crisp bacon-lined cups with cheddar and chives. Makes 6 cups, serving 3 people.
Instructions
-
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 190°C. Lightly grease 6 wells of the muffin tin.

Step 2
Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until some fat renders but the strips remain flexible, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer the strips from the skillet.
-
Step 3
Curve one par-cooked bacon strip around the inside edge of each greased well. Divide the cheddar among the wells, crack one egg into each, then sprinkle with the chives, salt, and black pepper.
-
Step 4
Bake until the egg whites are fully set and the centers reach 71°C, 13 to 16 minutes.
-
Step 5
Let the cups stand in the tin for 3 minutes, then loosen the edges and lift them out. Serve warm.
