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!!!

Baked Eggs & Bread Bowls!!!

Does that not look yummy?! I was surfing the web the other day and came across this amazing and extremely easy recipe on Nobelpig.com and I must share! You can also easily alter the recipe to your own pallet and flavor.  So here goes.

Ingredients Needed (depending on how many you are making):

Crusty dinner rolls, as many as you choose
Eggs, large, one for each roll
Mixed herbs, chopped, such as, parsley, chives and tarragon, about a teaspoon for each roll
Heavy cream, 1 teaspoon for each roll
Salt and pepper
Parmesan cheese, grated, as much as you want to sprinkle on each roll

Steps:

1. Slice off top of each dinner roll and gently remove some bread until there is a hole large enough to accommodate an egg.

2. Arrange rolls on a baking sheet.  Reserve tops.  Crack an egg into each roll.

3. Top each egg with some herbs and a bit of cream.  Season with salt and pepper.  Sprinkle with Parmesan.  Bake in a 350 degree oven until eggs are set and bread is toasted 20 to 25 minutes.  After eggs have cooked for 20 minutes, place bread tops on baking sheet and bake until golden brown.  Let sit 5 minutes.

4. Place tops on rolls and serve warm.
