Step-by-step instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 200 °C (180 °C with convection). Turn a muffin tin upside down and lightly coat it with cooking spray.

2. 2

   In each inverted tin, lay 3‑4 short strips of smoked bacon so they completely cover the surface. Then cover them with a second muffin tin, pressing down so the bacon packs tightly.

3. 3

   Place the tins on a baking sheet to catch any drips and bake for 20 minutes, until the cups become golden‑crisp.

4. 4

   Remove the tins from the oven and let them cool completely, then carefully lift off the top tin. Transfer the cups onto a paper towel to drain excess fat.

5. 5

   Fill the ready cups with your favourite breakfast dish — scrambled eggs, baked beans in tomato sauce, grilled tomatoes, fried potato wedges, refried beans or hash‑browns. Sprinkle with grated cheese and serve with a Bloody Mary or your favourite drink.
