Ingredients
  

  • soft boiled eggs, chicken or duck, peeled
  • slices bacon, 2-3 slices per egg

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 200 C (390 F). Get out a muffin pan.
  • Set out your bacon and soft boiled eggs, I used duck eggs as those are favorites here. The muffin pan is to the right of the eggs.
  • Wrap an egg with 2-3 slices of bacon, one crosswise, and one to two lengthwise and place in the muffin pan with the edges down in the pan.
  • Repeat for the rest of the eggs. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, then gently turn the eggs to cook the other side, for another 10 to 15 minutes or until the bacon is crispy.
  • When you turn them during cooking, some of the bacon will come lose, no worries.
  • Serve with buttered toast.

Notes

Low cost overall. Figure 2 eggs and 4-6 slices of bacon per serving.
