Ingredients
  

  • 6 slices turkey bacon
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Cooking spray

Instructions
 

  • Preheat & Prep: Set the oven to 375°F and lightly coat a muffin tin with cooking spray.
  • Form the Cups: Wrap a slice of turkey bacon around the inner edges of each muffin cup, creating a circular shape.
  • Add the Egg: Crack one egg into each bacon-lined cup, then sprinkle with black pepper and shredded cheddar cheese.
  • Bake: Place in the oven and bake for 18-20 minutes. The egg whites should be firm while the yolks remain slightly runny.
  • Cool & Serve: Let the cups cool for a couple of minutes before carefully removing them from the tin.

Notes

  • Add chopped spinach or diced bell peppers for extra flavor and nutrients.
  • Swap cheddar cheese for feta or mozzarella for a different taste.
  • Cook longer for a fully set yolk or less for a runnier texture.
