To make the egg cups ahead of time, simply cook the bacon and eggs according to the recipe. Then, let them cool completely and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you're ready to serve, reheat the egg cups in the air fryer or oven until they are warmed through.
These bacon egg cups are a great way to use up leftover bacon. If you have some bacon leftover from breakfast, simply chop it up and use it in this recipe.
You can also add other ingredients to these egg cups, such as cheese, vegetables, or meat. Get creative and experiment with different flavors.
