Cooking Directions

1. Lightly grease eight muffin cups with butter.
2. In a large skillet, fry bacon over medium heat until cooked but not crisp. Drain on paper towels. Cut bacon slices in half width-wise; line the bottom of each muffin cup with one or two bacon strips. Line the sides of each muffin cup with two or three bacon strips. Break an egg into each cup. Sprinkle with onion-herb seasoning blend.
