How To Make The Recipe For Bacon Cups

Breakfast Bacon Cups

Ingredients:
White or Wheat Bread
Bacon
Shredded Cheddar Cheese
Eggs
Butter
Maple Syrup
Salt & Pepper

(Note quantities not added.
This will vary depending on how many you plan to make.
It’s safe to estimate about 2-3 per person. )

Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees.

While the oven is pre-heating partially cook the bacon
for about 3-5 minutes in a large skillet set to medium-high.

You want the bacon to be a little cooked but still pliable.

Mix maple syrup and butter in a small sauce pan
and heat over medium low so butter melts
(you can’t mess this up so don’t worry about amounts too much.

I usually use ½ a stick of butter and a cup or so of syrup).

Using a cookie cutter, ravioli cutter, or whatever else
you may have that can cut a 3 inch diameter circle
—cut circles out of the bread slices.

Here comes the good part!

Grease/non-stick spray muffin pan and line with bacon
so that is circles each mold.

Now, brush each side of the bread with the syrup/butter mixture
and place in cup so that it rests evenly at the bottom of the mold.

You may have to do a little trimming of the bread
but it’s ok if it doesn’t fit perfectly either.

Crack an egg into each mold, season with salt and pepper and give each cup a sprinkle of cheese (you can also add the cheese on top of bread, beneath the egg).
