Categories     Breakfast

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 6

6 strips bacon
2 stalks green onion, (chopped)
12 large eggs
1-1/2 cup ricotta cheese
5 oz smoky cheddar cheese, (grated)
1 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (176°C).Line a microwave-safe dinner plate with paper towel. Lay the bacon strips side-by-side on the plate. Cover with another paper towel. Microwave on high for 4-6 minutes. Set aside and crumble when cool.
  • Meanwhile, crack eggs into a medium glass or ceramic bowl or into the bowl of an electric stand mixer. Add ricotta and mix at high speed for 2-3 minutes. Stir in cheddar cheese, green onion, crumbled bacon and salt. Stir until well-blended and cheddar cheese is well-distributed.
  • Spray the cups of a 12-cup muffin pan with cooking spray. Ladle or pour egg mixture into each cup. Fill each cup to the top with the mixture.Fill the bottom of a broiler pan or shallow baking pan halfway with water. Make sure you choose a pan that is large enough so that your muffin pan can fit inside. Place your muffin pan inside the baking pan. The water only needs to be high enough to cover the entire bottom of each muffin cup. You do not want water to spill over the top and into your egg mixture.
  • Bake in the water bath for 35-40 minutes. For more even baking, turn the pans around after about 20 minutes of baking. The egg cups are done when the centers are set. Remove muffin pan from the oven and water bath. Allow to cool in pan on a wire rack. Once cool, you can use a knife the loosen the sides of each egg cup and remove them from the pan.

Whole30 Bacon and Egg Cups image

Everything you've ever craved from a diner breakfast is present in this Whole30-friendly recipe, which is easy to prepare for a crowd.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 12 servings (1 egg cup)

Number Of Ingredients 6

12 strips sugar-free bacon (about 10 ounces)
2 red potatoes, sliced 1/8 inch thick, rounded ends discarded
1 small red bell pepper, finely chopped
12 large eggs
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
Hot sauce, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Wrap 1 piece of bacon around the inside of each cup of a 12-cup muffin tin to create rings. Put 1 slice of potato on the bottom of each cup and divide the bell pepper pieces among the cups.
  • Bake until the fat starts to render from the bacon (it will bubble in the bottom of each cup) and the bacon begins to crisp and turn light brown on the top edges, 10 to 12 minutes.
  • Remove the tin from the oven and crack an egg into each cup, making sure the yolk is inside the bacon ring. Continue baking until the bacon is crisp, the egg whites are cooked through and the yolks are still runny, about 10 minutes longer. Run an offset spatula around the edges and remove to a platter. Sprinkle with the chives and serve with hot sauce if desired.

These simple 3-ingredient egg cups can be made ahead of time for a grab-and-go breakfast that fits into your keto and low-carb lifestyle. Try different cheeses like pepper Jack or smoked Gouda for a change of pace. This works best with regular bacon, as thick-cut won't cook up as well. This recipe can easily be doubled.

BIRD'S NEST BREAKFAST CUPS



Bird's Nest Breakfast Cups image

I got the basics of this recipe from a friend of mine and thought it was a great idea since these little nests can be made ahead, which I love. They are delicious, easy to make, and can be customized to your own tastes. I not only use the recipe as a delicious grab-and-go breakfast, but serve it to guests nestled into some lovely cheese grits, alongside fresh fruits and French toast made on a panini press. Oh, and don't forget the mimosas!

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will directly impact the flavor of your breakfast cups. Choose fresh, high-quality bacon, eggs, and cheese.
  • Cook the bacon until it's crispy: Crispy bacon adds a delicious flavor and texture to the breakfast cups. Cook the bacon until it's nice and crispy, but not overcooked.
  • Use a muffin tin with nonstick spray: This will help prevent the breakfast cups from sticking to the pan. You can also use paper muffin liners, but they're not necessary.
  • Fill the muffin cups evenly: Make sure you evenly distribute the bacon, eggs, and cheese among the muffin cups. This will ensure that each breakfast cup has the same amount of ingredients.
  • Bake the breakfast cups until they're set: The breakfast cups are done baking when the eggs are set and the bacon is cooked through. This will usually take about 20-25 minutes.
  • Serve the breakfast cups warm: The breakfast cups are best served warm, right out of the oven. You can top them with your favorite toppings, such as salsa, guacamole, or sour cream.

Conclusion:

Bacon breakfast cups are a quick, easy, and delicious breakfast option that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They're perfect for busy mornings or for a special brunch. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious and satisfying meal that will keep you full and energized all morning long.
