Ingredients

• 2 slices nitrite/nitrate-free bacon
• 1 tsp melted bacon fat, for greasing
• 2 eggs
• 1 small tomato, cut into 4 (1 cm thick) slices
• 2 tbsp onion, minced
• 2 white mushrooms, minced
• 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 320°F (160°C).

5. Sauté the minced onion and mushrooms in the remaining bacon fat over medium heat until soft.
6. Meanwhile, place one tomato slice in the bottom of each greased cup. Lay one bacon strip around the rim of each cup.
7. Crack an egg into each cup and season with pepper.
8. Top each egg with the sautéed mushrooms and onions.
9. Fill the unused cups with water to prevent burning.
10. Bake for 20 minutes.
11. To serve, loosen the eggs from the edges of the cups and slide them onto plates.

Tips & Variations

Alternative method: bake the bacon instead. Line a sheet with foil, lay the bacon in clean strips and bake at 400°F (200°C) without preheating. After 13–15 minutes the bacon is perfect for the muffin tin. The water in the empty cups prevents scorching.
