Bacon Egg N Cheese Pop Ups

Making breakfast now that school is back in session can be a stressful thing. You want the kids to get a healthy start to their day with some protein not just sugar from cereal.  

These Bacon, Egg & Cheese Pop Ups are easy can be made ahead and warmed up in a snap.

You will need:

 A muffin tin

Sliced bread

2 eggs per person

1/4 cup half & half per person 

One tablespoon bacon bits per person

Cheddar cheese shredded

Chopped chives or scallions 

Salt/pepper

Butter

Heat oven to 375.

Combined eggs and half and half in a bowl whisk, season with salt and pepper.

Spray muffin tin with non stick spray. 

Butter one side of the sliced bread. Place in muffin tin buttered side down like you would a cupcake liner.

Sprinkle in your bacon bits, onion and cheddar cheese.

Fill cups with egg mixture. The bread will absorb some of the liquid. 

Bake in oven for 15-20 minutes until eggs are puffed up and done. 

To remove take a butter knife and run around sides to loosen from pan. 

These can be made ahead, place in container cover and refrigerate. Pop in microwave to

warm.

You can also substitute half and half with whole milk. I used whole wheat bread in the photo.

Enjoy!

Cooking Tip Of The Day!

Tip of the day, ad a dab of butter to maple syrup, put in a microwave proof pitcher or gravy boat. Heat for 30-40 seconds in the microwave before serving your French Toast or Pancakes!

You will never go back to using syrup out of the bottle!  Adding the butter to the syrup makes it taste even better!

Enjoy ;)
