Equipment
- 1 silicone muffin pan
Ingredients
- 12 strips of bacon chopped
- 12 eggs
- sea salt to taste
OPTIONAL
- ⅓ cup shredded cheese Cheddar, Swiss, Gruyère, or Parmesan
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F.
- Divide the chopped bacon evenly among the muffin tin cups. Bake for 8–10 minutes until cooked to your liking.
- Crack one egg into each cup with bacon. You can leave the eggs whole in the cups or gently scramble them with a fork within each cup for a varied texture. Sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt.If using cheese, sprinkle a little on top of each egg.
- Return the muffin tin to the oven and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the eggs are set and slightly puffed. For a soft, runny center, go closer to 12 minutes; for a firm and sliceable one, go 15 or even 17 minutes.
- Let the bites cool for 5 minutes before removing from the tin. Serve warm or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Notes
Bacon Crispness: Cook bacon just shy of fully crisp initially to avoid burning during the second bake.
Customization: Add a pinch of black pepper or dried herbs (if keto-friendly) for extra flavor.
Add finely chopped liver or leftover steak bits if you're going full carnivore.
Want a golden top? Broil for 1-2 minutes at the end.
Storage: Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 1 month—reheat in the oven at 350°F or pan-fry for best texture.
