Can I use any type of bacon?

Yes, but if you're using turkey bacon you may want to grease the muffin slots to ensure the eggs don't stick to the pan. Also, I don't recommend a thick cut bacon because it will probably be harder to wrap around the muffin tin.

Do you have to precook the bacon?

Technically, no. But I like crispier bacon, so I like to cook it prior to baking the egg cups.

Bacon Egg Cups (2 Ingredients)

Description

Low carb bacon and egg cups made with just two ingredients: bacon and eggs!

Ingredients

Scale

1 package bacon
eggs (1 egg for each slice of bacon you have)

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F.
Place the strips of baking on a baking sheet so that none of them are overlapping. Bake at 375 degrees for 10 minutes.
Slightly cool the bacon, then place one strip of bacon in each slot of a muffin pan, so that it lines the edge. Use the leftover bacon grease to grease the bottom of the muffin slots.
Crack one egg in each slot of the muffin pan (lined with bacon).
Place them in the oven and bake at 375 degrees for 20-25 minutes.
After baking, cool slightly and then serve.

Notes

You can make as many or as few bacon and egg cups as you wish. Each cup uses one slice of bacon and one egg. I made 8 cups because I had 8 slices of bacon in the package I bought.
