The Bacon & Eggs Breakfast Cup might just be the most handy early morning recipe we have ever have posted. It can be all the best things tucked into one cute little cup.
As well as being simple and quick to make, these cups are so versatile. Due to the fact they’re made in a muffin tin, each cup can be tailored to what each person likes to eat. This is especially great if you have kids who only want certain things.
