Bacon-Egg Cups For Dinner

I was recently reminded of something I cooked, a few times, years ago:  Bacon-egg cups!  It had been a while, and I had forgotten a few details (like how long to cook them), but I figured I would cook some up, since I was thinking of them.

One problem, though;  I didn't own a cupcake pan to cook them in.  So, this morning, I made a quick little trip over to the thrift store.  Three dollars out of my pocket bought me a nice, heavy-duty pan.

About an hour ago, I decided it was time to cook dinner.

First, I cooked some bacon, but left it floppy, not crispy.  Then, I lined the cups on the cupcake pan (after spraying them with non-stick cooking spray) with bacon.

Then, I grated some pepper-jack cheese, and put it in the bacon...

Cracked an egg into each, salted and peppered...

Popped them into a 450-degree oven for 15 minutes, then turned off the oven and let them sit for 10 minutes. (I might not do this, next time, to try and leave the eggs a little softer)...

And this is what they looked like, after they came out of the pan:

Yum...

Bon appetit...
