Ingredients
  

6 strips of bacon

6 large eggs

1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/4 cup chopped green onions

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon strips until they are crispy but pliable. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Once done, remove from heat and let them cool slightly.

      Using a muffin tin, carefully place each slice of bacon against the sides of a muffin cup, wrapping it around the bottom to form a cup shape.

        In a mixing bowl, crack one egg into each bacon cup carefully, trying to keep the yolk intact.

          Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese and chopped green onions evenly on top of each egg. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

            Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the eggs are set to your desired doneness (less time for runny yolks, more time for fully cooked).

              Once cooked, remove from the oven and let them cool for a couple of minutes.

                Carefully lift the bacon egg cups out of the muffin tin and transfer them to a serving plate. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
