How do I prevent the egg cups from sticking to the muffin tin?

Lightly grease the muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray before pouring in the egg mixture to ensure easy removal after baking.

Can I add vegetables to the egg mixture?

Absolutely. Chopped bell peppers, spinach, or mushrooms can be mixed in for added flavor and nutrition.

Swiss, feta, or your preferred shredded cheese can replace cheddar while maintaining creamy texture and flavor.

Cook the bacon strips until just crisp but still pliable, then twist into spirals before placing atop each egg cup.

Fluffy scrambled eggs baked in muffin cups, topped with crispy bacon strips—perfect for an easy, crowd-pleasing brunch side.

Step 5:: Twist each bacon strip into a loose spiral and place on top of each filled muffin cup.
Step 6:: Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the eggs are set and lightly golden.
Step 7:: Let cool for 2-3 minutes before carefully removing the egg cups from the pan. Serve warm.

My family loves gathering around the table to enjoy these egg cups on weekend mornings.

For a vegetarian version omit the bacon or replace with vegetarian bacon strips. Serve with fresh fruit or toast for a complete brunch.
