Muenster-Bacon Egg Cups
A grab & go breakfast to fuel your day
If you haven't noticed already, I really love making egg cups for breakfast! They're easy to make in batches & a quick breakfast to eat before your go to work or post-workout. There are so many different varieties you can make & I can assure you that I'll be sharing all my recipes as I experiment!
This egg cup is packed with flavor from dried herbs, crispy bacon, a muenster cheese "shell," & No Crumbs Left's marinated onions. I can't take credit for the marinated onion recipe, but they do not disappoint. Teri from No Crumbs Left was one of the first Whole 30 bloggers I followed. She has amazing cookbooks, all the "magic elixers," & beautifully photographed foods. I hope to have as much food art & creativity as her one day (check out her Instagram).
As always, stay nashful!
let's get crackin' - makes 12 egg cups
- 10 strips of thick-cut bacon
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 dozen eggs
- 1/2-1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp oregano
- No Crumbs Left Marinated Onions
- 1 1/2 cups frozen shredded potatoes
- 12 slices of muenster cheese, sliced in half
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
- Line a baking sheet with foil for easy cleanup, lay the bacon in a single layer, & bake for 35 minutes.
- Remove the bacon from the oven & set the slices on a paper towel to absorb the excess oil. Then chop the bacon into bite-sized pieces
- While the bacon is cooking, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil on medium high heat, add the shredded potatoes & cook for about 7-10 minutes until lightly browned.
- In a large mixing bowl, crack 1 dozen eggs & add your seasoning.
- Beat the eggs with a hand mixer or immersion blender to make them extra fluffy.
- Take a silicone muffin tray & line the tray with 2 half slices of the muenster cheese to make your "cheese shell."
- Layer a tablespoon or 2 of the potatoes on top of the cheese & push down into the muffin mold.
- Add the chopped bacon on top of the potatoes, ladle in your egg mixture until it is filled just below brim of the muffin tin.
- Top with a few slices of Teri's marinated onions.
- Bake the egg cups for 35 minutes, remove from the oven & pack them in an airtight container to eat throughout the week.
