Keto Bacon Egg cups

This was inspired by my bacon wrapped sausage recipe on this site. I decided to alter it by adding eggs and cheese and cooking it up in muffin tins. They're perfect with these cream cheese biscuits, pancakes, or on their own.

Instructions

There are 10 steps for this delicious breakfast bowl. Do not let the number of steps overwhelm you, they are easy to follow.

STEP 1: PREPARE YOUR OVEN

Before you start cooking, heat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit for five minutes. This will ensure that your food cooks more evenly and won’t over-cook on one side while being undercooked elsewhere

STEP 2: PREPARE THE SAUSAGE BOWL SHAPE

To make a perfect bacon-filled muffin, first, wrap the bottom side with strips of cooked bacon. Secure it using toothpicks and place it into an oven for 10 minutes before removing it from the tin to cool off.

Wash the muffin tin as you will need it for step 5.

STEP 3: TIME TO ADD THE SAUSAGES

In a large mixing bowl, combine the sausages together.

STEP 4: CREATE INDIVIDUAL PORTIONS OF THE SAUSAGE MIXTURE

We recommend removing ⅔ cup of sausage mixture at a time. This will give you 6 equal portions.

STEP 5: CREATE THE SAUSAGE BOWLS

Forming each portion over the bottom of a muffin tin creates bowls that are perfect for baking. Place in an oven and wait until they’re done after 12 minutes.

STEP 6: REMOVE THE SAUSAGE BOWLS.

The next thing you want to do is remove your sausages from the bottom of each muffin tin. Wash the tin and turn it right side up. Make sure to keep the oven on.

STEP 7: TIME TO ASSEMBLE THE SAUSAGE AND BACON CUPS.

When the sausage is still warm and pliable, immediately place it in a muffin tin. Then add on top of that bacon ring!

STEP 8: CHEESE TIME!

Finally, top each bowl with a spoonful of shredded cheddar cheese.

STEP 9: ADD THE EGG.

Crack an egg into each sausage bowl.

STEP 10: TIME TO FINISH BAKING.

Place the mixture back into your oven and bake for 10 minutes, or until desired consistency. If you prefer runny eggs over easy then adjust cooking time accordingly.

STEP 11: THE FINISHING TOUCH.

This is a dish best served with an extra sprinkling of Sriracha. It’s spicy, sweet, and tangy all at once!

Hint: Make sure you don't cook your bacon to crisp. Crispy bacon won't bend around the muffin tin.

Tips

This is an incredibly simple recipe, but I still have a couple of tips here that will help you make these tasty bites the best that they can be.

• If cooking your own bacon for this recipe, only cook it until it's just done. Don't crisp it. It needs to be pliable to wrap around the muffin tin.
• You can use pre-cooked bacon to save time and make wrapping easier.
