Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Grease a muffin tin lightly.

Add 12 strips of bacon to a large deep skillet over medium-high heat.

Cook the bacon until evenly brown on both sides but still flexible, about 4-5 minutes per side.

Remove the bacon and wrap a slice inside each muffin cup.

Place 1 teaspoon of melted butter or bacon grease in the bottom of each cup.

Crack one egg inside each cup, preferably into a bowl first to avoid shells.

Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 15 minutes.

Remove the pan from the oven and place a 1/4 slice of cheddar cheese on top of each egg.

Return the eggs to the oven until the cheese is melted, about 3 to 5 minutes.

Carefully trace around the bacon with a butter knife or small spatula and gently lift it out of the pan.
