Canadian Bacon Egg Cups

How fun are these little egg cups? And so easy! I grew up eating Canadian bacon, and I actually prefer it over regular bacon. School mornings often started with Canadian bacon nestled on top of a toasted English muffin. Just the thought of that makes me smile. 

Thinly sliced Canadian bacon, when pressed into a muffin pan, makes the perfect "cup" for baked eggs. You can also use your favorite ham or prosciutto, but note that the cups may not hold their shape as well. 

12 thin slices (rounds) Canadian bacon
8 medium or large eggs
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. 
Coat 8 cups of a 12-cup muffin pan with cooking spray. 
Press two pieces of Canadian bacon into each cup, pressing into the bottom and up the sides of the cup. 
Crack the eggs into the cups and season the top with salt and pepper. 
Bake for 15 to 17 minutes, until the egg whites are fully cooked and the yolks are cooked to your preference. 
Serve with bread, toast or English muffins if desired. 

Serves 4 (2 egg cups each)
