Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C).
Lightly grease the cups of a standard 6-cup muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray.
Take one slice of bacon and wrap it around the inside edge of each muffin cup to create a circle. If needed, trim any excess bacon so it fits snugly.
Crack one egg into the center of each bacon-lined muffin cup.
Sprinkle a small amount of shredded cheddar cheese on top of each egg, dividing the cheese evenly among the cups.
Season each egg with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked to your likingβ18 minutes for soft yolks, 20 minutes for firmer yolks.
Carefully remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the bacon-wrapped eggs cool for 2-3 minutes.
Run a knife or spatula around the edges of each muffin cup to release the bacon-wrapped eggs.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for added flavor and presentation, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
