If you try this the oven temp (200) isnt' F....it's C....don't make the same mistake I made. I had to increase the temp to 350 after the 15 minutes at 200 and bake another 10 minutes. The yolk was cooked throughly though and I'm sure the original recipe had the yolk "sunny side" consistency. Also, don't expect the Phyllo to be crispy...it's just a vehicle for the egg/bacon "muffin" to come out together. You could always use rolled out biscuit dough for a base.
