How to Make Breakfast Biscuit Cups

Preheat the oven to 350°F and prepare a jumbo muffin tin with non-stick spray. If you don't have a jumbo muffin tin, you can also use small ramekins.

Cook the bacon using your preferred method. I use my bacon cooker in the microwave for quick and easy bacon. Once the bacon is nice and crispy, allow it to cool and chop it into small pieces.

Separate the biscuit dough into 8 biscuits and lightly press each one to spread it out and flatten it. Place 1 biscuit in each muffin cup, pressing the dough into the bottom and up the sides.

Place some bacon and green onion in the bottom of each cup. Next, crack each egg into the cup and sprinkle the top with cheese.

Bake for 30 to 35 minutes. Run a small knife around the cups to loosen and serve immediately.

How to Get a Runny Egg on Top

If you want your egg to be runny on top, place the cheese on top of the bacon and onion first and then crack the egg on top. Bake at 400°F for 18-20 minutes.

Tips and Tricks for Making Egg Breakfast Cups

• Make a batch of these ahead of time for an event or large gathering. Once the egg cups have cooled, place them in a sealable container in the fridge. When ready to serve, reheat them in the oven at 350°F for 5-6 minutes or until hot all the way through.
• You can freeze these Egg Breakfast Cups for later! Once the cups have cooled completely, place them in a freezer-safe container and separate each layer with wax paper. To reheat, microwave on high for 1 minute or until heated all the way through.

Substitute for a Jumbo Muffin Tin

A jumbo muffin tin comes in handy more than you might think. Obviously, you can make large bakery-style muffins in it and this recipe. However, if you don't have a jumbo muffin tin, you can substitute it with ramekins or another small, oven-safe bowl.

Easy Tool to Cook Bacon in the Microwave

I like to cook my bacon in the microwave using this topp below because it's fast and easy and always comes out nice and crisp. Clean-up is also easy thanks to my microwave bacon cooker tray.
