2 Bites Bacon n Eggs Cups

June 3, 2010 in Breakfast, Cooking, Food, Recipes

This is what happens when you are hungry and at work… You look at recipes online, especially breakfast recipes! I just came across another alternative to the breakfast in a cup!

Courtesy of The Noshery another site that I check often for all things yum, I came across this:

A 2 Bite Breakfast: Bacon & Eggs in Toast Cups!

I figure, you know, everyone must have toasts at home some how, so this may be easier than getting bread bowls from my previous posting.

This recipe makes about 6 of these little bites.

Ingredients:

6 slices of bread
6 slices of bacon
6 eggs
1/2 cup of shredded cheese
salt & pepper
Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray muffin pan with butter non-stick spray.
2. Using a cookie cutter, cut circles out of bread slices about 3 inches in diameter.
3. Take bread circles and press them into the muffin pan, set aside.
4. Heat a large skillet on medium-high. Cook bacon on the skillet until partially cooked but still pliable, about 3 minutes.
5. Shape bacon strips into the toast cups, fill with 1 Tbs of shredded cheese. Place in the oven for 5 minutes, allowing the bacon to toast just a little more. Remove from oven.
6. Crack your egg and separate out most of the egg white. Drop eggs into the cups, sprinkle with salt & pepper to taste. Place back in the oven and cook until white begins to set, about another 8 – 10 minutes.  The yolk should be creamy.
7. Remove from oven when done and pop out using a spoon, serve warm.

As an aside, to make it extra breakfastsy, add some maple syrup to it! YUMMMMMM!

**Update** So I tried this idea… using Crescent Rolls instead of bread…SO Good!!!
