Crispy Bacon & Egg Bites: A Delicious Microwave Breakfast Delight!

Can bacon really be cooked in the microwave and still come out crispy? Absolutely! With the help of a silicone muffin pan, you can make perfectly portioned bacon and egg bites that are not only delicious but also incredibly easy to whip up for a busy morning or a quick snack. No greasy mess, no frying pan, just a quick and savory dish using your microwave.

Ingredients You’ll Need

4 slices of bacon (microwaveable)
4 eggs
2 tablespoons of milk (or cream for a richer taste)
Salt and pepper, to taste
Shredded cheese (optional, for added creaminess)
Chopped green onions or herbs (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

Step 1: Prep Your Bacon

Place the bacon slices on a microwave-safe plate lined with a couple of paper towels. Microwave the bacon on high for about 3-4 minutes, depending on how crispy you want them. They should be pliable and easy to wrap but still cooked enough to hold their form.

Step 2: Crack the Eggs

In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk (or cream), salt, and pepper. You can also add your optional shredded cheese or green onions at this stage for extra flavor.

Step 3: Prepare the Muffin Pan

Grab your silicone muffin pan and lightly spray it with non-stick spray. Wrap each cooked bacon slice around the inside edges of each muffin cup, forming a “bacon wall.”

Step 4: Pour in the Egg Mixture

Gently pour the egg mixture into each bacon-lined muffin cup, filling about 2/3 full. Make sure not to overfill as the eggs will rise slightly as they cook.

Step 5: Microwave

Place the silicone muffin pan in the microwave and cook on high for 2-3 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and slightly puffed. Cooking times may vary based on your microwave, so start with 2 minutes and check.

Step 6: Serve and Enjoy!

Carefully remove the muffin pan from the microwave (it may be hot!) and let the egg bites cool for a minute before popping them out. These bacon-wrapped egg cups are perfect for a quick breakfast or a protein-packed snack. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired and enjoy.

Serving Suggestions & Variations

Veggie Boost: Add finely chopped bell peppers, spinach, or mushrooms to the egg mixture for a healthy twist.
Cheese Lovers: Use a mix of shredded cheddar, mozzarella, or pepper jack cheese to give these bites an extra creamy texture.
Spice It Up: Mix in a pinch of chili flakes or a dash of hot sauce for a bit of heat.

Conclusion

These Microwave Bacon & Egg Bites are proof that you can make a delicious, crispy bacon breakfast right in your microwave. No more standing over a stove or waiting for an oven to preheat! These bites are versatile, easy to customize, and perfect for busy mornings. Whether you’re cooking for yourself or whipping up a quick bite for the family, these egg cups will quickly become a favorite.
