Ingredients
Ingredients
Bacon
12 slices (Cooked until soft and pliable)
Fresh eggs
12 (Cracked directly into the muffin cups)
Salt
1/2 teaspoon (For seasoning)
Pepper
1/2 teaspoon (For seasoning)
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2
In a medium frying pan, cook the bacon over medium heat until it reaches a soft and transparent stage. Be careful not to crisp it too much, as you want it pliable for wrapping.
3
Once cooked, drain the bacon on paper towels to remove excess fat.
4
Take a standard 12-cup muffin pan and line the sides of each muffin cup tightly with the bacon slices, allowing them to overlap slightly if needed to ensure no gaps.
5
Crack one fresh egg into the center of each bacon-lined muffin cup.
6
Sprinkle a dash of salt and pepper over each egg to taste.
7
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes. Keep an eye on the eggs as they cook; you want the whites to be set but the yolks to remain slightly runny, if that’s your preference.
8
If you prefer a basted top, after 10 minutes, carefully baste each egg with about 1/2 teaspoon of water for a nice finish.
9
Once done, use a small spatula to gently lift each bacon-wrapped egg from the muffin pan to a serving plate.
10
Serve warm with a fork and knife, and enjoy a hearty breakfast with toast and fruit on the side.
