PALEO PROSCUITTO EGG CUPS

These little cups of gold are so delicious and so easy to make. They are great for breakfast or as a snack any time of the day. And if you don't have company, you can even eat them with your hands...standing in your kitchen....in your pajamas. Go ahead and try it, I promise not to tell anyone.
You can tailor the cooking time to how you like your eggs. I like mine still a little soft in the middle but not too runny. If you like them runnier just decrease the cooking time by a couple minutes, and vice versa if you want the yolks hard all the way through. You can also whisk the eggs first and add other ingredients such as chopped spinach, mushrooms, bell peppers, and/or onion.
This also works with regular bacon as long as it's not sliced too thick. If you do use bacon I suggest you cook it in the muffin tins by itself for a few minutes before you put the eggs in. That will ensure you get the crispness on the outside that makes these little guys so fantastic.
