Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray (12) cavities of a standard muffin cup with cooking spray or use silicone muffin cups (I highly recommend them and no greasing is necessary! See affiliate link above).

Wrap one slice of bacon around the inside of each muffin cup and bake for 7-10 minutes (see notes on bacon thickness). Remove from heat and drain the grease. Reposition the bacon in the muffin cup if necessary to make more room for the eggs.

Crack an egg into the center of each muffin cup, being careful to keep it inside the bacon slice. Sprinkle the top of each egg with salt and pepper, to taste, and bake for 12-15 minutes more depending on the desired amount of doneness (see notes). 12 large eggs,salt and pepper

Remove from the oven and place on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Remove from the muffin cups, serve with chopped fresh chives if desired and enjoy! 1/4 cup chopped chives

Tips & Tricks (5)

Pre-cook Bacon for Even Results 🥓
Partially cook bacon before adding to muffin cups to ensure it renders properly and crisps evenly throughout baking, preventing chewy or undercooked strips.
Prevent Egg Overflow with Measurement 🥚
Fill muffin cups only 3/4 full with egg mixture to account for rising during baking and prevent overflow that can cause sticking and uneven cooking.
Line with Bacon Strategically 🧈
Line the muffin cups with bacon strips before adding egg mixture to create a natural non-stick barrier and ensure bacon stays crispy on the edges.
Freeze Before Final Storage ❄️
Flash-freeze muffins on a baking sheet for 2 hours before transferring to freezer bags to prevent them from sticking together and maintain individual portioning.
Add Chives After Baking 🌿
Sprinkle fresh chives on warm muffins immediately after removing from oven to preserve their delicate onion flavor and vibrant color instead of baking them in.
