KETO CHEESY BACON AND EGG CUPS
These simple 3-ingredient egg cups can be made ahead of time for a grab-and-go breakfast that fits into your keto and low-carb lifestyle. Try different cheeses like pepper Jack or smoked Gouda for a change of pace. This works best with regular bacon, as thick-cut won't cook up as well. This recipe can easily be doubled.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Wrap 1 piece of bacon around the inside of each cup of a 12-cup muffin tin to create rings. Put 1 slice of potato on the bottom of each cup and divide the bell pepper pieces among the cups.
- Bake until the fat starts to render from the bacon (it will bubble in the bottom of each cup) and the bacon begins to crisp and turn light brown on the top edges, 10 to 12 minutes.
- Remove the tin from the oven and crack an egg into each cup, making sure the yolk is inside the bacon ring. Continue baking until the bacon is crisp, the egg whites are cooked through and the yolks are still runny, about 10 minutes longer. Run an offset spatula around the edges and remove to a platter. Sprinkle with the chives and serve with hot sauce if desired.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Divide the bacon slices among 2 large skillets. Cook in a single layer over medium-low heat, flipping once and draining the rendered fat as needed, until the bacon is almost fully cooked but still pliable enough to bend, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain the bacon on a paper towel-lined plate and set aside.
- Unfold the puff pastry sheets onto a lightly floured work surface. Lightly roll each sheet with a rolling pin to seal together any folds..
- Using a sharp knife, cut each sheet into 9 equal squares. Place 1 puff pastry square in each cup of a 12-cup muffin pan, pressing it firmly into the bottom and sides and letting the edges hang over the cup. (Reserve and freeze the 6 leftover squares for another use.)
- Place 1 of the bacon strips in each puff pastry cup, letting the ends stick out.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs with the milk and a pinch each of salt and pepper.
- Divide the cheese among the puff pastry cups, followed by the egg mixture.
- Bake until the puff pastry is golden brown and the eggs are cooked through, 18 to 22 minutes. Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes then loosen the pastry cups around the edges with a paring or butter knife.
- Sprinkle the egg cups with the chives and serve immediately.

Steps:
- 1. Preheat Oven to 350 degrees
- 2. Spray muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray. Pour 2 Teaspoons of pancake batter into each muffin well. Bake for 4 minutes or until set.
- 3. Increase temperature to 400 degrees. Wrap a piece of bacon around interior side of the muffin well. Crack egg into the muffin well. Season with salt and pepper. Continue with remaining cups. Bake for 10 minutes or until the whites of the eggs are set and the yolks are still runny. NOTE: If you prefer your eggs completely set cook longer.
Tips:
- Use high-quality bacon: Using thick-cut, good-quality bacon will ensure the cups hold their shape and have a delicious flavor.
- Don't overcook the bacon: The bacon should be cooked until it is crispy but not too hard. Overcooked bacon will be difficult to fold and will not hold its shape.
- Use a variety of fillings: You can use any type of fillings you like in your bacon and egg cups. Some popular options include cheese, vegetables, and meat.
- Be creative with your toppings: You can top your bacon and egg cups with anything you like. Some popular options include salsa, sour cream, and chives.
- Make them ahead of time: Bacon and egg cups can be made ahead of time and reheated when you're ready to serve them. This makes them a great option for busy mornings or for parties.
Conclusion:
Bacon and egg cups are a delicious and versatile breakfast option that can be easily customized to your liking. They are perfect for busy mornings or for parties, and they can be made ahead of time and reheated when you're ready to serve them.
