Bacon Eggs Cups are such a delicious breakfast and brunch option! These bacon egg cups come together so easily and are just as perfect to make for serving a group as they are to make for two people! But, I even like to make large batches of these to reheat for busy mornings.
The smokey flavor from the bacon mingled with the parmesan cheese and the creaminess of the egg are a mighty delicious combination that we absolutely love! And that freshness from the green onion takes them over the top!
Bacon Egg Cups Recipe
My recipe below makes six bacon egg cups, but you can scale this recipe to make the number that you need!
How to Make Bacon Egg Cups
To make these, you’ll need these ingredients:
Ingredients
- Bacon – thick-cut slices
- Eggs
- Parmesan cheese
- Kosher salt and black pepper
- Chopped green onions
Step by Step Instructions
Here’s how I make them.
Cook bacon. I cook my bacon for about 5 minutes or so and then arrange the bacon slices around the edges of the indentions in a muffin pan. This way, your bacon and eggs will be cooked to just the right amount once you add your eggs to the muffin pan. Also, this allows for a lot of the bacon drippings to render so that they are not part of your finished bacon egg cups.
Add eggs. Then, you crack an egg into egg bacon wrapped indention in the muffin pan.
Add Cheese and Cook. Repeat until all are filled. Then, top with Parmesan cheese and bake to your preferred consistency for your eggs. About 13 minutes is similar to a soft-boiled egg (a little runny) and 15 minutes or more will yield a hard-boiled egg consistency. If I am making them to reheat again for a later meal, I will stop at 13 minutes so that they are not overcooked when I reheat them.
Serve. Once they’ve baked, I remove them from the muffin pan using a silicon spoon and top them with salt, pepper, and chopped green onions.
How to Make Ahead and Store Bacon Egg Cups
To make ahead: bake the egg cups for 13 minutes as directed. Allow to cool slightly and then transfer to an airtight container.
To store: Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When ready to serve, reheat, top with salt, pepper, and green onions, and serve.
Here’s my Bacon Egg Cups recipe. I hope you love them, too!
Bacon Egg Cups Recipe
Ingredients
- 6 slices bacon, thick cut recommended
- 6 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons green onions, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375ºF. Spray muffin pan with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
- Cook bacon over medium heat for 5-8 minutes. Remove the bacon before it is fully cooked and dry on a paper-towel lined plate.
- Arrange each slice of bacon around the edge of each muffin cup, creating a circle around the edge.
- Crack one egg into each bacon wrapped muffin cup and sprinkle with parmesan cheese. Bake 13 – 16 minutes, based on your preference for the egg consistency. At 13 minutes, the egg yolk will be more soft-boiled and at 16 minutes, more hard-boiled consistency.
- Remove each cup from muffin pan with a spoon and serve with a sprinkle of salt, pepper, and the green onions.

Definitely don’t need 13 minutes on the eggs. Mine were well done! Nothing soft about them. Next time maybe 5 mins.
Leanne, if you live at a higher elevation (I live at 1000 feet), these may cook faster than they do at my house. You may have to make some adjustments to the baking time.
Simple. Easy. Delicious!
Thanks, Shauna!
What are the reheating instructions for when they are stored overnight in fridge?
Cora, you can reheat them in the microwave for 25-30 seconds at 15 second intervals. Hope this helps.
What is the oven temp?
Hi Marty,
I’m glad you commented as there was an small technical issue that needed to be corrected, and it has, so the full recipe is included now. The temp is 375 degrees. Thanks!
Very helpful mine where amazing !!!!!
Now see, that right there is just too healthy for me lol. Lose the green onions…yuck. And lighten up on the black pepper. And lastly add more cheese!! Now we’re talkin!!! YUM.

These are good – thanks Robyn
Only thing I would say is don’t use large size eggs – i was quite surprised how full an egg filled the muffin cups
I eat 2 scrambled eggs for breakfast almost every single morning, I love them. However, my poor taste buds get bored out of their mind. I love recipes like this because it jazzes up my morning routine and the recipe is super simple! I can’t wait to try your recipe 🙂
