Enjoy the taste of Breakfast with these bacon and egg cups baked right in the oven.
You can always add some cooked vegetables to the bottom of the cup before adding the egg on top. Saute some zucchini, mushrooms, or onions in a skillet with some butter first before cooking the eggs in the oven.
I created this recipe back in 2014 and recently updated the post with better recipe instructions and hints to help get the perfect bacon breakfast cups. 5/17/21
Ingredients for Bacon Breakfast Cups
- Eggs - The best type of eggs you can buy at the store are organic or free-range eggs, while others may prefer eggs from specific breeds of chickens.
- Bacon - Depending on how thick your bacon is the time it takes to cook the breakfast cups might vary.I find the thin cut bacon cooks more evenly around the pan.
- Cheese - Use any type of cheese you like. Cheddar, Colby Jack, or Pepper jack would be good
- Salt and Pepper - to taste
- See the recipe card below for a full list of ingredients and measurements.
Garnish the eggs with fresh herbs like chopped parsley or chives
How to make Bacon and Egg Cups
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly coat a muffin tin with oil.
Line 8 muffin cups with 1 slice of bacon each. Crack an egg into each mold, season with salt and pepper and give each cup a sprinkle of cheese (you can also add the beneath the egg).
Bake in the preheated oven until egg whites are completely set, about 15 minutes. Top with black pepper.
Air Fryer Instructions
If you wish to cook these in an air fryer, find silicon molds that will fit the bottom of your air fryer. They come in single molds or in molds of 4. Place all the bacon and eggs in a mold then gently lift them into the air fryer basket. Air fry for 330 for 10 minutes. You don’t want the temperature too high or else the eggs will burn on top.

When you say line with 1 slice of bacon do you mean in a circle ⭕️ of the muffin tin or on the bottom
