It's the ring of bacon that makes these egg bites a visual standout on your brunch table. Baking Nana says, "These would be great for a brunch or even for a breakfast on the go. I use center cut bacon and instead of microwaving it I partially cooked it in a skillet, crisping up just one side. The bacon was still flexible and just the right length to circle the muffin tins.
