Instructions:
-
Preheat oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 325°F (163°C). This ensures that it’s nice and hot when you’re ready to bake.
-
Prepare bacon: While the oven is preheating, lightly sauté or broil the strips of bacon until they’re just starting to crisp up. This step adds a delicious smoky flavor to your bacon rings.
-
Grease muffin tin: Take your muffin tin and generously grease the bottom with butter. This prevents any sticking and adds a rich, buttery flavor to the dish.
-
Line with bacon: Carefully line the sides of each muffin cup with a strip of bacon, creating a ring shape. Ensure that the bacon is pressed firmly against the sides to create a sturdy “nest” for the eggs.
-
Crack eggs: Gently crack one egg into each bacon-lined cup. Be careful not to break the yolk, as we want it to remain intact for that perfect runny center.
-
Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 10 minutes, or until the eggs are set to your desired level of doneness. Keep an eye on them towards the end to avoid overcooking.
-
Serve: Once baked, carefully remove the bacon and egg rings from the muffin tin. Serve them hot, either on their own or with your favorite accompaniments.
Serving Suggestions:
- On Toast: Turn these savory delights out onto rounds of toast for a classic breakfast pairing.
- English Muffins: For a heartier meal, serve the bacon and egg rings on toasted English muffins with a dollop of hollandaise sauce.
- Pineapple Rings: For a unique twist, try serving the eggs baked in bacon rings on top of grilled pineapple rings for a sweet and savory flavor combination.
Eggs baked in bacon rings are not only delicious but also versatile, allowing you to customize them with your favorite toppings and serving options. Whether you’re hosting a brunch gathering or simply treating yourself to a special breakfast, this recipe is sure to impress with its delightful flavors and ease of preparation. Enjoy! 🍳🥓
