Low calorie days suck...

BACON makes it better and Eggs have protein..

So:
BACON BASKETS:

1. Cook up some bacon (don't make it crispy)

2. Spray pan and add bacon

I experimented with putting a piece on the bottom and without -- both worked well.

3. Add Cheese and Eggs (Whole or whites depending upon your macros)

Bake on 350, remove. Use a knife to edge out reside stuck to pan. Enjoy

Not sure about the time :(

Adding cheese to the middle layer was a nice touch and sprinkling with a bit of spice made it well.. fantastic!!

The egg white only version worked out well and tasted nice.
I think that this is a keeper and I will tweak it a bit more..

YUM!

    Question: I can't stand soft bacon, I need mine on the borderline of burnt. So since I am keeping it flexible to shape to the cups, does it crisp up more while in the oven?

    Yes, it will crisp up in the oven -- but it will not be super crispy.
    You can cook it a bit longer but make sure there's some flexibility to make the oval shape.

    The bacon flavor gets cooked into the egg white and yolk.
    Adding cheese to the center layer was nice as well :)

    Will be making / tweaking this again >:)

    I make these with ham instead of bacon, and use low-fat cottage cheese or ricotta :) They're amazing

    My mom used to do this with bread, stuffing the bread in and it forms a cup and cracking in egg in it.. she called it eggs in toast cups because the bread came out nice and toasty..... I bet it would be awesome to add the bacon just like you did, inside the toast cup.
