Breakfast Bacon Cups Recipe

I saw this on facebook and it looked so good.  Thought I would post it to share with everyone and so I wouldn't lose it..  ha ha


Breakfast Bacon Cups

Ingredients:
White or Wheat Bread
Bacon
Shredded Cheddar Cheese
Eggs
Butter
Maple Syrup
Salt & Pepper
(Note quantities not added. This will vary depending on how many you plan to make. It’s safe to estimate about 2-3 per person. )

Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees. While the oven is pre-heating partially cook the bacon for about 3-5 minutes in a large skillet set to medium-high. You want the bacon to be a little cooked but still pliable. Mix maple syrup and butter in a small sauce pan and heat over medium low so butter melts (you can’t mess this up so don’t worry about amounts too much. I usually use ½ a stick of butter and a cup or so of syrup).

Using a cookie cutter, ravioli cutter, or whatever else you may have that can cut a 3 inch diameter circle—cut circles out of the bread slices.
Here comes the good part! Grease/non-stick spray muffin pan and line with bacon so that is circles each mold. Now, brush each side of the bread with the syrup/butter mixture and place in cup so that it rests evenly at the bottom of the mold. You may have to do a little trimming of the bread but it’s ok if it doesn’t fit perfectly either. Crack an egg into each mold, season with salt and pepper and give each cup a sprinkle of cheese (you can also add the cheese on top of bread, beneath the egg).
Place in oven for 7-8 mins. This is for a slightly runny egg. If you’re looking for a solid yoke cook for about 10 mins.

Marivel's Microwave Lava Cake and Doctor ~ January 16, 2012





Well started out the week with a doctor's appointment.  Let's just say it's one of 4 this week, which includes 1 for the initial visit to physical therapy.  I am sick and tired of being sick and tired.  I'm not old enough for all this.  ha ha...  But, my blood work came out good, yeah...  And so did my A1C for my diabetes.  I forgot to get copies, so will call them and have them get them ready for me and I'll pick them up on Thursday or Wednesday.  Whichever comes first.  Well, I know Wednesday comes before Thursday, but depends on where I am at the time as to when I will get them..I make myself dizzy.  ha ha


I also had a delicious lunch today at a friends.  Thanks Marivel. She made the BEST salad.  I took some home and will be having that in a little while for supper.  She also has 2 pit bulls, that I must say I was a little leary about, but they are babies, and so cute.  She also made a scrumptious Lava Cake in the microwave oven.  Yup...  In the microwave.  If I remember correctly here is the recipe


Marivels Microwave Lava Cake

cake mix 
chocolate frosting


Mix the cake mix as instructed on their package, you know, eggs, water, oil, etc, along with 3 ice cream scoops of chocolate frosting.  Mix with a whisk.  She did it in her microwave rice steamer. Nuke it for 8 minutes, and yummy in the tummy... It was that good...And who knew you could make a cake in the microwave?  Not me.


She has more scrapbooking things than I do,  and really beautiful stuff.  I can't wait to see what she will be working on.So, I am thinking about that salad.  Who cares if I can't breathe from still being stuffed.  ha ha..


Hope you make the cake.  If you do, let me know how you like it.  I loved it.
