These Bacon Egg Muffin Cups are an easy all in one breakfast recipe made with buttery toast cups, fluffy baked eggs, crispy bacon and melted cheese. Perfect for busy mornings, brunch, meal prep and freezer breakfasts, these easy breakfast muffin cups are simple, filling and family friendly.
Heat a skillet on medium-high heat, cook the bacon and only allow it to cook for about 4-5 minutes. You are looking for flexible but not raw. While the bacon is cooking, cut two circles out of each slice of bread. I used a circle cookie cutter to make it easier.
Now take that extra bread and either save it for [french toast casserole|https://www.dailydishrecipes.com/overnight-french-toast-casserole-recipe/] or go tear it apart and feed it to the birds {what we did}.
Spray a muffin tin with cooking spray. Next, lay a circle of bread into the bottom of each muffin cup. Wrap the bacon around the edge of each muffin cup. (I did this part backwards – we did the cheese before the bacon – it made absolutely no difference) Sprinkle cheese on top of the bread slices.
Now carefully, crack an egg into each cup. Megan suggested cracking the egg carefully into a bowl first and then sliding it into the muffin cup. I just did it right into the pan.
Bake them for 10-15 minutes or until the whites have set and the yolk is cooked to your liking (less for a runny yolk, more for a cooked yolk)
Serve with pancakes and fresh fruit – well, we did. And by the way, you cannot eat just one. I don’t care what anyone says, you can’t. It’s impossible.
