Bacon & Egg Cups with Lemon came about as a merger of two
different ideas - the first Lemon Fried
Eggs by Fresh Eggs Daily and the
second Easy
Bacon & Egg Cups by Frugal Foodie Mama. Thanks, guys!
Ingredients:
½ a lemon
sliced
4 eggs
4
tablespoons of cream
4 rashers
of bacon (enough to line 4 muffin holes in a muffin tin)
Pepper
Olive oil
(I used extra virgin)
Finely grated
parmesan cheese
Basil for
garnish (or whatever greenery you have)
Method:
Pre heat
oven
Fry your
bacon in the olive oil along side your 4 lemon slices – don't let it go crispy
or hard – a little undercooked is perfect.
Oil your
muffin tin (it will still stick some though)
Put a slice
of lemon in the bottom of each muffin space (use a large muffin tin)
Then curl
the bacon around each muffin space
Mix
together your eggs, cream and pepper
Pour into
the muffin tin
Top with a
little grated parmesan and drizzle over your remaining oil from frying the
bacon
Bake in a
low oven for 30 to 40 minutes until the eggs are set
Garnish
with basil
This was
tasty – but next time I might use a different flavour from lemon which I found
a bit sharp – maybe mustard oil?
This sounds like an amazing breakfast! I love the idea of adding a little bit of acidic lemon to the rich egg and bacon.
ReplyDeleteLove this idea!
ReplyDeleteI'm pinning this to make later. It sounds really good!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a bit too much time & work for breakfast, but I bet it would be a good lunch.

Looks like a tasty breakfast! ;-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! Maybe add a little cheese?
ReplyDeleteThat's not too much trouble for me Carole, I think these muffin cups would be popular at our home.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a super breakfast!
ReplyDeleteNever thought of mixing lemon with egg, or cooking lemon slices, for that matter! Sounds good!
ReplyDeleteI might do a breakfast like this for Sudays, which we take a bit of time for it, though leave out the lemon as you suggested. Maybe just a few bits of preserved lemon.
ReplyDeleteLove this ! Perfect for a weekend brunch !
ReplyDeleteI have made something similar before but the addition of lemon sounds great. Will have to try this
ReplyDeleteCarole, this sounds tasty AND fancy-schmancy. Great for a company breakfast.
