Breakfast Cups

A fun take on a classic breakfast.  You can nix the bacon completely if you want to.  You monster.

Ingredients

bacon

egg

butter

salt

crushed black pepper

Optional

bread

shredded cheese

onion

garlic

chopped green onion

Equipment

muffin pan

 The How-To

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit
2. Butter the muffin pan
3. If you want to use bread or toast, you can cut out circles and put them at the bases of the muffin pan
4. If you want to use onions and garlic, chop the onions and garlic and fry on low heat/caramelize
5. Fry the bacon until it's just about done/slightly crispy - you can pat them dry if you want to
6. Shape the bacon strips in the muffin pan circles; one in each so it's pressed against the sides like a little bacon cup
7. You can add some cheese, along with the caramelized onions and garlic from before.
8. Crack an egg into each of the bacon cups
9. Sprinkle a little salt and pepper
10. Bake for 11 to 15 minutes
11. To remove the breakfast cups from their muffin pan prison, you can simply run a knife around each one and pry them out
12. Enjoy

Sometimes I add a little tomato, steak, turkey, and/or ham to the mix.  Or a little potato.  Go crazy if you want to, haha.
