- 12 slices bacon
- 6 eggs
- 1 jalapeno, minced
- ½ cup finely shredded cheese of your choice (I used cheddar and Monterrey Jack)
- 1 tablespoon chopped basil or cilantro
Cook the bacon until just barely cooked (not crispy and still bendable). Remove to a paper towel covered plate to drain and cool. Preheat the oven to 400F. Spray 6 wells of a muffin pan with cooking spray.
Form a piece of bacon into as much of a circle as you can into 6 muffin pan wells, then form a ring of bacon around the well with an additional piece of bacon. Fill each well with a pinch of minced jalapeno and shredded cheese. Carefully crack an egg into each well. Top with additional cheese and basil.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, or until the eggs are set but still runny. Carefully remove from the pan with a serving spoon.
