Bacon Wrapped Egg Cups!

So in a bind to try some "paleo friendly" grab and go recipes for the husband before I go grocery shopping in the next few weeks, I was of course on pintrest. I found some amazing looking recipes for muffin tin pancakes, muffin tin oatmeal cakes, muffin tin egg scrambles, ect. The problem with all of these was of course, that they had some sort of cheese or grain (such as biscuits) for a 'binding' ingredient to keep the shape. So, I went ahead and modified one the egg casserole type muffin tin recipes and hoped for the best.

The result was amazing! These eggs are super yummy and take MAYBE 5 minutes of prep, plus the 20 minutes in the oven! The bacon grease kind of seeps into the egg white and gives it an amazing bacon-y flavor! You don't need to add salt either, the salt from the bacon is more then enough. Plus, it's easy enough for Non- Paleos to toss some cheese on top without having to make a second batch! I found some recipes kind of like this one online, but all of them use for some kind of dry biscuit mix, or are pretty time consuming (I.E. cooking the bacon FIRST). So without further rambling, here is my recipe:

Bacon Wrapped egg cups:
eggs (however many you would like to make)
1 slice of bacon per egg
shredded cheese (optional)

1.) Spray muffin/cupcake tin down with cooking spray, or oil with Olive oil on a paper towel.
2.) Wrap bacon slice in a circle on the inside of muffin tin
3.) crack egg into center of bacon
4.) season with whatever you like (I used pepper and garlic powder)
5.) Sprinkle cheese on top (optional)
Bake at 350 for 20 minutes. Pop those sucker out of the tin and enjoy! :)

BACON NOTE: For crispier bacon without dirtying an extra pan, place on 2 paper towels on a plate and microwave for 30 seconds before putting in tin
HEALTH NOTE: For less fat, calories, and cholesterol, Replace bacon with turkey bacon and use only the egg whites. 

Enjoy! :)
