About this recipe:
These Bacon and Egg Breakfast Cups, let me tell you, they are absolutely delicious. All the best things tucked into one cute little egg cup that’s lined with bacon. The bacon acts as a little nest that holds all the delicious egg. These cups are almost like mini omelettes in the way that they can be tailored to everyone’s taste buds.

Egg Breakfast Cups Recipe Tips:
- AMOUNT: This recipe makes approximately 6 – 8 egg cups. Basically, one egg per person, and you will likely want 2 cups per adult, at least. They’re that good.
- ADDITIONS: Use all your favourite ingredients that you would like in an omelet, things like onions, mushrooms, spinach, tomatoes, bell peppers, ham, green onion, etc. Here are some delicious flavour options:
- Ham and cheese
- Mushroom, green pepper, onion and cheese
- Tomato, cheese and onion
- Spinach, tomato, onion and cheese
- MAKE AHEAD TIP: You can make these ahead of time, then store them in the fridge in an air-tight container for 3 – 5 days. When you’re ready to eat them just heat in the microwave for about 15 seconds or more.
- FREEZING: These freeze really well. After the egg muffins have cooled, place them onto a baking sheet into the freezer and freeze overnight. Once the egg bites have frozen, transfer them to a ziplock bag and keep in the freezer for about 1 month.
- SERVING SUGGESTIONS: Serve with fresh fruit, banana bread or toast.

Hi!
This looks fabulous. Just wondering, my little brother is under going chemotherapy so I’ve been searching for “meals” that can be made in batches and those that can be frozen for quick grab and go for him (breakfast as we know is a must for everyone, anyway). Thanks so much!
Oh man that looks delicious!!! I’ve been making every dinner in a muffin pan recipe I come across and I cannot wait to do the same for breakfast too! 🙂 I’ll be pinning this now…

Thank you Beena!
Can I line the muffin pan with Phyllo cups? If so, should I pre-bake the phyllo?
Hi Kathryn! I’m sure you can, I’ve just never tried. I think your best bet for success would be to search for a recipe that includes the phyllo as an ingredient.
