Enjoy the taste of Breakfast with these bacon and egg cups baked right in the oven. You can always add some cooked vegetables to the bottom of the cup before adding the egg on top. Saute some zucchini, mushrooms, or onions in a skillet with some butter first before cooking the eggs in the oven.
Air Fryer Instructions
If you wish to cook these in an air fryer, find silicon molds that will fit the bottom of your air fryer. They come in single molds or in molds of 4. Place all the bacon and eggs in a mold then gently lift them into the air fryer basket. Air fry for 330 for 10 minutes. You don’t want the temperature too high or else the eggs will burn on top. I created this recipe back in 2014 and recently updated the post with better recipe instructions and hints to help get the perfect bacon breakfast cups. 5/17/21
