Bacon and Egg Cups

DifficultyBeginner

This is the kind of thing you can whip together on a Sunday night and simply warm first thing before breakie for the rest of the week. If the price of parmesan is a bit steep, feel free to add in cheddar or whatever cheese you like.

Prep Time10 minsCook Time20 minsTotal Time30 mins
 a little melted butter for greasing
 6 rashers back or streaky bacon
 40 g grated parmesan
 2 eggs
1

Preheat your oven to 200C.

2

Grease two cups of a large muffin pan (or use ramekins) with a little melted butter.

3

Lay the bacon strips in the cups (or ramekins), overlapping so that there are no holes in the cup. Bake in the oven for 5 minutes to "set" the cup.

4

Take them out, sprinkle them with cheese before cracking the egg into the cup. Fold the ends of the bacon over the yolk of the egg.

5

Return to the oven and bake for a further 15 minutes.

6

Allow to cool for a few minutes and remove from the ramekins, using a paring knife or palette knife.

7

This is delicious served with a little salad of rocket leaves, halved cherry tomatoes and sliced avocado. In this shot, we’ve garnished them with a little dollop of cream cheese.
