Hi everyone, tried these for breakfast this morning after finding the recipe online. It was lovely. I had one with a slice of wholemeal toast and he who must obey had two.
The first thing I thought was….this is great, I can do it for any amount of people from 1 up to 12, for breakfast or brunch. It’s looks nice on the plate, different , really tasty and soooo easy to do..I know, I know, some are probably thinking….. ...whats wrong with just slapping bacon rashers and an egg into a pan and putting onto a plate….. But now I am retired and have the time, I like to try new recipes, and besides, I've always believed) that if the food looks good, it will taste even better. Anyway, I will defo do these again when having relatives stay.
WHAT YOU WILL NEED.
1 x Muffin Tin - spray or very lightly grease with butter, the amount of muffin cups you intend to use.
OVEN TEMPERATURE.
Preheat the oven to 375F - 190C - Gas 5.
INGREDIENTS
2 x Rashers of Streaky Bacon per muffin cup
1 x Egg per muffin cup
A little grated cheese to top it, (optional)
Tiny amount of Salt and Pepper for each egg that you cook.
METHOD
Fry or Grill the bacon rashers until they are nearly cooked (transparent) but must be still pliable. Pat dry on kitchen towel paper.
Starting at the bottom of the muffin cup, wrap the still pliable rashers around the sides of the cup, (It’s okay if the rashers overlap).
Crack an egg into the centre of the muffin cup and lightly salt and pepper it.
Pop the muffin tin into the oven and cook for between 15- 20 minutes. Watch for the yolk and white setting.
(TIP: -I don’t like eggs sunny side up. I prefer them soft but splashed, so if you’re the same, after 10 minutes of cooking, spoon half a teaspoon of water over the egg(s) to get the same desired effect).
A couple of minutes before cooking time was up, I sprinkled a very small amount of grated cheese on the tops, just enough time for it to melt. YUM!
Turn out onto a warmed plate and enjoy breakfast.
Comment from He Who Must Obey? “Ruddy Hell, they’re posh aren’t they?”
(please note he wolfed them both down with relish).
I don't like a cooked breakfast (other than something like porridge) but they look nice - for lunch maybe? might experiment with making them in the microwave.
