Bacon Egg Cups

You don't really need a special occasion or even had a particularly fantastic night to fix a treat for someone's breakfast. This easy to prepare version of bacon and eggs also makes for a great brunch.


Four ingredients is all it takes. That and just a tiniest bit of effort, aren't you willing to do this for your special person?



Ingredients:
3 slices Bacon
2 Eggs
1 English muffin
2 slices American Cheese
Seasonings of your choice

Directions:
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. If your muffin pan seats 12, that usually means each will be about 8 to 9 inches around. You will need 1 piece of bacon + ½ to 1/3 of a piece to set in the bottom of each egg cup.



Line a rimed baking sheet with foil and lay out the bacon in one layer but not touching. 
 

Cook your bacon in the oven until almost done but still pliable.* Make sure it doesn’t get crispy because it will continue to cook in the oven and it needs to be able to bend. It should take about 12 minutes.

Drain on paper towels and let cool.

When bacon is draining on paper towels, this is a good time to remind you NEVER pour grease down the drain! As soon as it cools, it will clog up that drain faster than you can imagine! 
 


Spray the muffin pan. Line the muffin tins with bacon slices. To make it easier, notice how bacon has one edge that has the fat and one edge that has the “meat”? Put the “meat” edge down. Place the ½ to 1/3 piece inside the cup first to create a “bottom” to the egg cup.

Crack an egg into each cup. Sprinkle with your choice of a seasoning. Slave prefers to use a tiny bit of dried Thyme for this. Sage, oregano, even poultry seasonings work just as well. Also a touch of salt and pepper.

Bake until almost set, about 15 minutes.

Toast the English muffin while the egg cups are nearly done, lightly butter them.


Loosen from cups by running a table knife around the edges. Carefully remove them and place upside down on a piece of American cheese and drape a half piece on top to melt while waiting to serve.

Serve this just like you would eggs, two per serving along with some hot toast or English muffins. Enjoy!!!
