Saw this on Huffington Post and immediately thought of TBOT. Go figure.


Anna Brones: Bacon Cups: Delicious and Easy Breakfast Recipe


Bacon Cups: Delicious and Easy Breakfast Recipe
Posted: 9/18/11 09:30 PM ET


Easy and delicious brunch recipe? Bacon cups it is.

It's Saturday morning. On Friday a coworker handed off a carton of eggs from her own chickens, and later that day you broke down and bought a package of local bacon from Niman Ranch. What do you do? Make bacon cups, of course.

Or at least that's how it went in the EcoSalon kitchen a few weekends back when we were brainstorming brunch ideas.

To be perfectly honest, we're (almost) over the bacon internet meme, and we really don't want to be one of those people, but these bacon cups are kind of amazing. And simple!

So if you want to impress your bacon-and-egg-loving friends -- we make plenty of vegan fare, too, honest! -- give these a shot. You won't be disappointed.

These are also ideal for large breakfast or brunch parties because you can pop in several muffin tins into the oven at once, solving the perennial "How to fry eggs for 10 people and all sit down to eat at the same time" conundrum.

EcoSalon's Bacon Cups

Ingredients:
6 strips of local, organic bacon
6 organic eggs, preferably from chickens you know
Some type of crumbly cheese: goat, blue cheese, parmesan, etc.
Green onion, chopped

Directions:

Line each tin hole of a muffin tin with bacon. If you like your bacon a little crispy, put tin in the oven at 350F for 10 or so.

Crack one egg into each hole.

Sprinkle with green onions and cheese.

Bake for 20 minutes.

Pop the bacon cups out of pan onto a plate and serve immediately.


See, easy. And the best thing about this recipe is that you can vary it however you want. Add in some sundried tomatoes? Why not. Sprinkle in a pinch of Herbes de Provence? Sure.
Enjoy!

Sounds interesting, but I don't get how to form cups with Bacon... Seems like you would need several strips per tin cup...

The eggs are the filler. I imagine it would set up similar to a quiche.

it is more of bacon wrapped egg.

if you want to get OCD you could cut some bacon into disks with a biscuit cutter and place that at the bottom so you actually have a cup made out of bacon. another option is back bacon for the bottom.

im getting hungry now.

Awesome. I'll have to try that next time my gf and I are making breakfast together.

This probably has it's own thread somewhere, but check this out:

Bacon Explosion recipe

These things are awesome.

I've made three of these (much more awesome than it looks!) and I prefer plain or hot sausage as opposed to Italian-style and I really think that pulled pork would taste better as the center filling, but I haven't tried that yet...
