#11 - Bacon Egg Cups

What it was supposed to look like:

Original Source: Fat Girl Trapped in a Skinny Body

Confession time: This meal was actually cooked by my husband, not me. That already gives it an unfair advantage, but I'll try to remain fair :)

Breakfast is my husband's domain, as we really only experience on the weekends and I rarely eat it, so I let him take this one over.

What you'll need for 12 cups (muffins?):

• 12 slices of bacon
• 8 eggs
• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• pinch of salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Whip everything except bacon together with a fork.

Spray 12 muffin pans (holes?) with non stick spray.

Wrap each piece of bacon inside each muffin tin.

Fill each muffin tin 3/4 of the way full with egg mixture.

Bake 30-35 minutes or until eggs don't jiggle.

Use a knife to scoop them out, serve immediately.

Each cup is about 100 calories so I'm taking it upon myself to categorize it as healthy too! (Only because of the high protein, low cal!)

The verdict:

On the website, the author posted that readers had commented about partially cooking the bacon in advance. I'd recommend that. The only real downside to this recipe was that the bacon was a little chewy and "clear" in parts. A crunchier bite might make this one a total winner. For 100 calories a pop, I'm totally willing to try it again! Especially if he's the one cooking it!

That's it! Have a great meal and express your saucy side!
