good muffin'!!!

... I guess nothing beats waking up to the smell of a hearty breakfast on a weekend. With the scent of bacon, eggs, fried rice and coffee wafting and enticing you out of bed after more that eight hours of well deserved sleep who would not have a great day ahead!?!

... last friday (weekends in Abu Dhabi, UAE or in the Middle East for that matter is on friday and saturday as opposed to saturday and sunday in other parts of the world) in an attempt to put a twist on the standard morning fare, I decided to make a breakfast 'muffin'. Nope don't be scared, I did not attempt to bake on a lazy friday morning - I just skipped using my frying pan...

Bacon and Egg 'Muffins"

Ingredients:
2 strips of bacon
2 eggs
2 slices of white bread
salt and pepper
chopped steamed veggies (optional)


How to:
- grease 2 holes of a medium sized muffin pan
- flatten the bread with a rolling pin, and cut to fit the bottom of the muffin holes
- line the bacon strips along the insides of the muffin holes to make a 'collar'
-crack an egg onto the muffin holes, you can add your steamed veggies as long as the egg doesn't overflow out of the holes, season with salt and pepper
- bake for 10-15 minutes at 275F or until yolks are cooked according to your liking



mmmm...muffin!
