Bacon & Parmesan Egg Cups for Mother’s Day
You guys, we finally made it to my sister’s house. My niece is SO darn precious I can’t stand it. If you follow me on Twitter or Instagram, you can see some quick photos I snapped {like this one, this one and this one}. I forgot how small newborns were!
And how my butt goes numb after 6 hours in a vehicle. And how resiliant my bladder is.
But that is neither here nor there.
Since Mother’s Day is this weekend, I thought I would share with you all an easy breakfast my Mom used to make a lot growing up- egg cups. I changed the original recipe just a bit and it turned out just as good. Perfect for all you folks who plan on making breakfast in bed for your Momma’s. Super simple and really hard to screw up. 
Oh and delicious too!
Here’s how you do it: {–>PS: don’t forget to like this photo on Facebook. Explanation here.}
Start out with some precooked bacon. I use the precooked kind because then the bacon gets crispy. I am a fan of crispy bacon. Feel free to use raw but beware that it won’t get as crispy.
So what we’re going to do is spray our muffin tins with some non-stick cooking spray. Place 1 piece of bacon around the sides and half a piece across the bottom.
Take a few of these babies and crack them right into those bacon lined cups
and top with some salt and pepper.
Bake until the egg is cooked to your liking. Mine took 10 minutes because my oven is hotter than the sun.
Once the eggs are cooling, grate a little parmesan cheese and toss lightly together with some chopped parsley.
Sprinkle that cheese mixture over the top and serve warm! Perfect with buttered toast and orange slices.
Enjoy your weekend! Happy Mother’s Day

Love these! I literally made almost the exact same thing last Sunday (well posted about it last Sunday, made them a few days before
) They’re like the perfect brunch food. The bacon across the bottom is a great idea to hold it all in place.

I’ve been wanting to do this for ages and just haven’t for some reason. I love the tip of using precooked bacon because crispy bacon is GOOD

Thank you for the recipe! I used it to serve my mom, and my grandmother (who is visiting from Sri Lanka). I made it for my whole family (I’m 13) and it was literally a party in my mouth. That was breakfast.
For dinner I made homemade cornbread with rainbow pasta and vegetables with different herbs. I had a great mother’s day and it started with your recipe! Thanks again and I hope you had a good one!
P.S.- Dinner was an ICE CREAM CAKE!!! You should try to make one…

Just letting you know – I made these yesterday (Sunday) morning for breakfast. Came out beautifully – except I should have taken them out a tad sooner (my fault). Husband and I loved them! Served with some fresh toasted bread from the farmer’s market and strawberries. Will be adding this to the ‘keep’ pile! Thank you so much for posting / sharing.
p.s. – I used the pre-cooked bacon and it worked perfectly.
