Difficulty

If you can crack an egg without emotional damage, you’re qualified.

Ingredients

  • 6 eggs (from chickens, ideally)

  • 6 strips of bacon (crispy enough to snap, not limp—this is important)

  • Salt & pepper (use vibes, not measurements)

  • Optional extras (because chaos is fun):

    • Cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or whatever’s judging you from the fridge)

    • Chives, spinach, or onions (to pretend this is healthy)

Equipment

  • Muffin tray

  • Bowl

  • Whisk or fork or enthusiastic spoon

  • Oven (must be turned on — don’t skip this step)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to  350°F / 180°C
    This gives it time to think about what it’s done.

  2. Cook the bacon until crispy.
    Not floppy. Not chewy. Crispy like it has opinions.

  3. Grease the muffin tray generously.
    Butter, oil, or cooking spray — do not trust “non-stick.” It lies.

  4. Chop the bacon into bite-sized pieces.
    Sneak one piece into your mouth for quality control.

  5. Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk until they look socially acceptable.
    Add salt, pepper, and any optional extras you’re feeling emotionally ready for.

  6. Divide the bacon evenly into the muffin cups.
    Try to be fair. Fail. Fix it. Move on.

  7. Pour the egg mixture over the bacon until each cup is about ž full.
    Eggs rise like your hopes on a Monday morning.

  8. Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until the eggs are set and slightly puffed like proud little breakfast clouds.

  9. Let cool for 5 minutes before removing.
    Ignore this advice once. Learn the hard way.

Serving Suggestions

  • Eat immediately

  • Eat on the go

  • Eat straight from the tray like a raccoon

  • Serve to guests and say, “Oh these? Just something I threw together.”

Storage

  • Fridge: up to 4 days

  • Freezer: yes, surprisingly

  • Microwave: 20–30 seconds or until they stop being sad and cold

Final Note

These egg & bacon bites are perfect for:
✔ busy mornings
✔ meal prep
✔ pretending you have your life together

Enjoy 😄
