Bacon and Egg "Cupcakes"

Okay, for my first post I'm going to post my most recent attempt in the kitchen and how I accomplished it.



What you will need (per cupcake):

Estimated time from start to finish: ~20 minutes

1 strip of bacon.
1 egg
1 slice of bread


Salt and pepper.


Cheese (optional)
Sliced Peppers (optional)

Step 1: Preheat over to 400 degrees. This isnt a hard recipe so you want to do mthis right away.

Step 2: Grease up a cupcake tray.

Step 3: Using the method of your choice, precook the bacon half way, either throw it on the grill for a minute, or toss it in the microwave for half the suggested time.

Step 4: (this step can easily be done while waiting for the bacon to partially cook): Take each slice of bread and press a large cup onto it to get a circular slice of bread. Alternatively, if you have enough common sense or fore sight, use a large sugar cookie cutter (better planner then me).

Step 5: Gently press each slice of bread into the cupcake holder.

Step 6: Place the bacon against the edges of cupcake pan edges, this combined with the bread makes your cupcake "wrapper".

Step 7: This is where you would add a small amount of cheese, pepper slices or whatever you want, by placing it inside the "wrapper"

Step 8: Crack open the egg and place inside the "wrapper".  (The egg, not the shell)

Step 9: Apply salt and pepper to taste place in oven for 10-15 minutes depending on desired consistency of egg.

Step 10: Pull out, let sit for 2-3 minutes and removed your new cupcakes with a butter knife or toothpick.

Enjoy!


Note for those on weight watchers: Without adding anything optional, each cupcake can easily be made at 4 pts+ if using a weight watchers bread as your base.
