These English Muffin Bacon, Egg and Cheese cups are the most delicious little breakfast bites. Thomas’ Sourdough English Muffins baked together with melty cheddar cheese, smokey bacon and a whole egg. I added a sprinkle of chives for a light onion flavor and it’s delicious! These little breakfast cups are packed with flavor and so pretty! They are perfect for serving a crowd.
Start by spraying the muffin tin very well with non stick cooking spray – this will keep the cups from sticking. With a heavy rolling pin, flatten the English Muffins until they are pliable. Then, carefully fit them into the muffin tins and brush with melted butter.
Next, sprinkle in a small amount of shredded cheese, then lay partially cooked bacon strips across. Push these in firmly so you have plenty of room in the cups for the egg. Crack an egg directly into each muffin and sprinkle with a pinch of kosher salt.
Bake at 350 for about 20 minutes, until the egg white is set but the yolk is still runny. Sprinkle with fresh chives and remove them from the muffin tins while they are still warm. Once they cool in the tins, they start to stick even if you use non stick cooking spray.
