Whole30 Bacon and Egg Cups image

Everything you've ever craved from a diner breakfast is present in this Whole30-friendly recipe, which is easy to prepare for a crowd.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 12 servings (1 egg cup)

Number Of Ingredients 6

12 strips sugar-free bacon (about 10 ounces)
2 red potatoes, sliced 1/8 inch thick, rounded ends discarded
1 small red bell pepper, finely chopped
12 large eggs
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
Hot sauce, for serving

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.

BACON AND EGG CUPS



Bacon and Egg Cups image

This is a simple recipe that my husband makes for us a lot for breakfast. Just takes one pan and you have bacon and eggs! This recipe easily adapts to how many you want to make, just use more muffin/cupcake pans! Now if you like to have your bacon crispy, this will not be for you. The bacon gets done but not crispy! The bacon flavors the egg, which is much like a poached or boiled egg. The servings are based on two bacon and egg cups per person. Hope you enjoy!

EGG AND BACON BREAD BOWL MUFFINS



Egg and Bacon Bread Bowl Muffins image

Bread bowls made in a large muffin tin with cheese, egg, and bacon cooked right inside.

Provided by Beth

Categories     100+ Breakfast and Brunch Recipes     Eggs

Time 2h30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 16

¼ cup warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
3 tablespoons white sugar
1 (.25 ounce) package quick-rise active dry yeast
cooking spray
2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour, or more as needed
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon ground cardamom
½ teaspoon ground ginger
¼ teaspoon sweet paprika
½ cup almond milk, at room temperature, or more as needed
3 tablespoons salted butter, melted and cooled to room temperature
1 large egg, at room temperature
6 slices bacon
¼ cup shredded Cheddar cheese
6 large eggs

Steps:

  • Mix warm water, sugar, and yeast together in a bowl. Proof yeast until it softens and begins to form a creamy foam, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Spray a large bowl with cooking spray.
  • Stir together 2 3/4 cups flour, salt, pepper, cardamom, ginger, and paprika in the bowl of a stand mixer until well combined. Make a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture, 1/2 cup almond milk, butter, and egg. Stir with the dough hook attachment on low speed until the dough comes together. If dough sticks to the side of the bowl, add flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, until smooth. If dough is too dry and does not come together, add 1 teaspoon almond milk at a time.
  • Knead dough with the dough hook attachment until smooth and supple, about 6 minutes. Transfer dough to the oiled bowl. Spray additional cooking spray on top of the dough. Cover the bowl with a clean, damp kitchen towel or plastic wrap. Allow dough to rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  • Roll dough on a lightly floured surface to a 1/4-inch thickness. Cut circles with a 4-inch round biscuit or cookie cutter.
  • Lightly oil a large 6-cup muffin tin with cooking spray. Place about 3 dough circles in each cup, overlapping to cover the sides and bottom; press to seal. Set aside to rise for 30 to 45 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until mostly cooked but slightly underdone, 7 to 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels and break each slice into 4-inch pieces.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Sprinkle a small amount of Cheddar cheese into each muffin cup. Place 2 to 3 pieces bacon on top of each, leaving the underdone ends sticking out to cook as the muffins bake. Crack an egg into each muffin and sprinkle additional Cheddar on top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until eggs are set but yolks are slightly runny, about 18 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use a regular muffin tin instead of a jumbo muffin tin to make regular-sized muffins.
  • To make ahead, cook the bacon and muffins separately and then assemble the muffin cups just before baking.
  • For a vegetarian option, omit the bacon and add chopped vegetables such as bell peppers, onions, or mushrooms to the muffin batter.
  • For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free flour in the muffin batter.
  • Serve the bacon egg muffin cups with your favorite toppings, such as ketchup, hot sauce, or salsa.

Conclusion:

Bacon egg muffin cups are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast option that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for busy mornings when you need a quick and portable meal.
