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

Lightly grease the muffin tin with nonstick spray or butter before pouring in the egg mixture to ensure easy removal.

Can I add vegetables to the egg mixture?

Yes, chopped bell peppers, spinach, or mushrooms can be folded into the egg mixture for added flavor and texture.

Cook the bacon strips over medium heat until beginning to crisp but still flexible, allowing easy spiraling on top of the cups.

Simply omit the bacon or substitute with vegetarian bacon strips or other plant-based toppings.

Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 15-18 minutes until the eggs are set and lightly golden on the surface.

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

I love serving these on weekend mornings because they combine the comfort of eggs and the savory crunch of bacon in a fun, handheld form.

Fill Muffin Cups:: Pour the egg mixture evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
