Bacon, Egg & Toast Muffins

Made these little beauties for Mom & hubby. They are great because you put them all together, then just pop into the oven - and you can make as many or as few as you need!

Unfortunately I don't really have any (ie: none) process pictures. I blame mom for yacking my ear off while I was cooking. Not like perfect little ol' me would ever be so forgetful while trying to document for my blog... *gasp*...

Anyway here's the recipe:

Bacon Egg & Toast Muffins (yeild: 6 total or 3 servings)
3-6 slices of bread (your choice here, but let's try and be healthy and go for some whole grains ok)
6 eggs
6 slices of bacon
1/2 cup cheese - shredded (I went with good ol Tillamook cheddar)

Basically here's what you do...

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and grease up a muffin pan. Don't be shy here because I'll tell ya, mine ended up sticking even after liberal butter application.

Use a round cookie cutter or the mouth of a drinking glass to cut 6 rounds out of your bread. You want them to be about the size of the bottom of your muffin pan.

Place your bread rounds in your greased muffin pan. Take a slice of bacon and wrap it around the edges of each bread round. The idea is the bacon is the sides of your muffin and the bread is the bottom. You'll need to tuck the bacon between the bread and the sides of the pan. (I know I know, this sounds very tricky... and well, it is. But this is the hardest part I swear!)

Now sprinkle a bit of your cheese onto the middle of each "muffin" and pop each one off with an egg.

Ta-da!! You're muffins will look like this after being assembled.




Slide these bad boys into the oven for 10-15 minutes. This part really depends on how done you like your eggs. Check them regularly and take them out when the bacon and eggs are cooked to your liking.







Fresh out of the oven... errr...minus the three I ate already!!











Yum yum.




Some notes on what I would do different next time:

I'll probably opt for english muffins as the base. My 12 multigrain bread was just a little much. Also in an attempt to avoid giving my family salmonella I overcooked the eggs... so be careful how long you leave yours in for :)
