Baked Eggs Wrapped in Bacon…Easy and Low Carb!

Some days I want bacon and eggs, but don't have the time to stand at the stove to fix it all. With this recipe I can quickly get everything into the muffin tin, pop it in the oven, and use the 20 minutes of cooking time to finish getting ready. For those not eating low carb, you can place the finished product inside an english muffin for a quick and easy breakfast sandwich on the go!
