Baked Eggs in Bacon Wraps

"Bacon wrapped in each muffin cup around the sides,with an egg in each cup. When there were 8 to 10 around the kitchen table in the morning, it was an easy breakfast to prepare and bake. Serve with toast and fruit. I used to make 18 to 24 servings so that each person could have two if desired. I worked a full time job and made recipes that were quick, easy, good tasting and that allowed all of us to get to school and work on time. Now I would use turkey bacon. When I first created this recipe, turkey bacon was not available."

Questions & Replies

  1. Can you use pre-cooked bacon? It is relatively soft and always has to be cooked more. I lack time and this would be wonderful before sending kids to school, then going to work.
     
  2. Do you need to oil or butter the muffin tin so the egg doesn't stick? Would a few minutes under the broiler help if you didn't want a runny egg?
     
  3. Is possible to cook longer? I don't eat eggs this wet

  1. My Dad used to make baked eggs like this. He passed away a few years ago and I had forgotten about them until I saw your recipe. They are fantastic and very nostalgic for me. I baked them for 15 minutes, but will try 12 minutes next. We always had them with the yolks still a little soft. Thanks for all the happy memories!
     
  2. This recipe was absolutely great! I made it for a breakfast at church for 22 people; so I made 48 muffins in 4 muffin tins. Those people thought there were incredible. I have to admit they were really good. I did add Herbs de Provence on top of the eggs.
     
  3. Quick, easy, delicious! Thank you for sharing!

  4. So easy! Cook the bacon ahead of time according to the recipe, especially if you are preparing several. That is what makes it a time saver. You can add different things to them also. Finely (or not) chopped tomatoes, peppers, scallions, mushrooms etc. A little bit of grated cheese on top. Pepper only, if desired, as the salt from the bacon makes it salty to begin with.
     
  5. Works fine in this tray sprayed with Pam

Tweaks

  1. My grandmother was making these back in the 1970’s, and we still make them for holidays, family get togethers, etc. I tweaked it over the years by adding a little of the bacon grease to top of eggs for flavor, and occasionally also add a spinach leaf to bottom of muffin pan to bake in, as well as a sprinkle of your favorite cheese to top in last 5 minutes of cooking. This has been a family favorite for 50 years...enjoy!

<p>My husband & I built our dream home after our children were raised.We didn't hire a contractor, we pounded every nail and board and shingle on it.I have lots of stories to tell about that adventure. My passion is cooking, my grandchildren and living each day like it were my last. I love to drive the big rigs. I lived all over the world for a time and collected dolls and cookbooks. I write poetry. My other passions are the outdoors, country living, the sunrises and sunsets,to give to others more than I receive as it says in the Bible. As I get older I am less judgemental.I hope I have helped someone each and every day. Every day is an adventure! <br /><br />Event Participation! <br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /> <img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/PAC08Main.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /> <br /><br /><img src=http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/RSC%20Banners/RSC11-SueL-FirstPlace.jpg alt= /> <br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/Adopted1smp.jpg border=0 alt=Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket /> <img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/smPACp.jpg border=0 alt=Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket /> <br /><br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/beartag_1_1.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting /> <img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/adopted_1_1.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting /> <br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/200_artistrichardneuman-art-prints_.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting /> <img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/untitled.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting /></p>
