Breakfast in a Cup!

Breakfast in a Cup

If you are like me, you love, even crave breakfast at any time.  I have a fantastical (I made up a word), flavorful on-the-go breakfast treat for you!  The recipe is short, the ingredients list is short, the effort is truly minimal.  Let's get to it, shall we?

Ingredients

1 package puff pastry dough

flour

12 eggs

12 slices bacon

salt and pepper

a kitchen herb for greenery, such as oregano 

grated cheese (Your favorite; I used Parmesan)

Olive or Canola Oil spray

*You will need a muffin tin, pizza cutter and skillet

Preheat the oven to 375-degrees. 

Pre-partially cook the bacon, about half way. The oven will do the rest. 

Add flour to a pastry marble or your baking surface and roll out the pastry dough just a little. You want the dough pliable but not so thin that it tears. 

With the pizza cutter, cut each of the two pastry dough sheets into six squares of rectangles. Plan ahead first!

Spray the muffin tin with non-stick olive oil or canola oil spray.  Lay out the pastry square and press it into the muffin cup. Take a strip of bacon, place it inside the pastry dough like a ring. Add a tablespoon of cheese.  Crack an egg into the muffin cup onto the cheese, bacon and dough. I added fresh oregano to each egg yolk so it'd stand out. Add a pinch of salt and pepper over each egg yolk.  Spray the overhanging pastry dough. 

Bake for 18 - 20 minutes until the eggs are done. The pastry dough will be nicely golden brown.  At the twenty minute mark I add more cheese atop of the yolks and let it melt for five more minutes. 

Remove the muffin tin and allow the breakfast cups to rest five minutes.  Use a knife or a pie spatula to pop them out of the tin.  Line a basket with a thick paper towel and place them in it to serve your family as they (and probably You, too) head out the door to a busy day!

As always, Thank You for your time and viewership!  I hope you enjoyed this easy tasty recipe.  Please share your views about it.  I'd be appreciative!
