The Breakfast That Wraps Itself
Let’s face it: mornings are hard. You’re half-asleep, your hair looks like a bird’s nest, and the only thing standing between you and chaos is breakfast. Enter Keto Bacon and Egg Cups—the superhero of morning meals. They’re easy, delicious, and basically a bacon hug for your taste buds. Plus, they’re keto-friendly, so you can feel smug while eating them. Let’s get cracking!
Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need (makes 6 cups):
- 6 slices of bacon (thick-cut works best)
- 6 large eggs
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
- Optional: shredded cheese, chopped chives, or diced veggies (if you’re feeling fancy)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven
Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). This is where the magic happens. - Bacon Prep
Take your bacon slices and line them inside a muffin tin. Each slice should form a little bacon cup. If your bacon is being stubborn, just remind it who’s boss. - Egg-cellent Addition
Crack one egg into each bacon cup. If you’re adding cheese or veggies, sprinkle them on top now. Pro tip: Don’t overfill the cups, or you’ll have egg-spansion issues. (Yes, I made that word up.) - Season It Up
Add a pinch of salt and pepper to each cup. If you’re feeling adventurous, throw in some paprika or garlic powder. Live your best life. - Bake It
Pop the muffin tin into the oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the bacon is crispy. Keep an eye on them—no one likes overcooked eggs or burnt bacon. - Cool and Serve
Let the cups cool for a minute or two. Then, gently remove them from the tin. Serve immediately and watch your family or coworkers stare in awe.
Tips and Tricks
- Bacon Too Crispy? If your bacon cooks faster than the eggs, try pre-cooking the bacon for 5 minutes before adding the eggs.
- Make It Ahead: These cups store well in the fridge for up to 3 days. Just reheat in the microwave for a quick breakfast.
- Go Wild: Add spinach, mushrooms, or even a dash of hot sauce for extra flavor.
