Bacon and Egg Cups

Bacon and egg cup recipe, Kitchen to Table Yamba

These bacon and egg cups are delicious eaten warm from the oven but are also great to take on a picnic. This recipe makes 6 but feel free to increase the quantities to make as many as you need. Why not make a few extra for an easy lunchbox treat?

6 eggs
6 slices round pancetta (If unavailable, use bacon rashers)
30g parmesan, finely grated
2 tbsp finely chopped fresh herbs, such as chives and parsley
3 cherry tomatoes, halved
salt and pepper
oil or butter for greasing muffin pan
Spicy Tomato Chutney, to serve

Method:

  1. Preheat oven to 200C. Grease a 6-cup muffin tray (or grease half the holes of a 12-cup muffin tray) with oil or butter.
    Use the pancetta or bacon to line each muffin hole, overlapping as necessary to get a nice even layer. Note: If using bacon, place the tray in the oven for 5 minutes to get the bacon cooking, then remove from the oven and carry on with the recipe.
  2. Sprinkle the pancetta/bacon with half of the parmesan and herbs. Crack an egg into each muffin hole and sprinkle with the remaining parmesan and herbs. Place 1/2 of a cherry tomato on top of each egg. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Place in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the egg whites are set. Remove from oven onto a cooling rack and allow to sit for a couple of minutes. Use a blunt knife to gently release the bacon and egg cups from the pan.
  4. Serve with spicy tomato chutney and hot buttered toast. Yum!!

Our retail shop in Yamba is now CLOSED

Thank you to everyone who has supported us during the past 17 years. It’s been a fantastic experience but it’s time for new adventures!

Our retail store is now CLOSED. However, there’s a small selection of products available via our online store, all at 50% off. You’ll need to apply this code at the checkout – CLOSINGDOWN25.

We’d like to continue to offer cooking classes and other local food experiences, but first some time off to rest and rejuvenate! We’ll share updates here on the website, in our newsletter, and on Instagram and Facebook.

Meredith’s food tours for 2025 are unaffected by the shop’s closure. The tours to Umbria and Morocco are fully booked, however there are spots available on our fabulous Sicily tour in October 2025.

We hope to connect with you sometime soon.
