Ingredients
- biscuit or croissant dough - 1 can, 6 pieces
- bacon - 12 slices
- eggs - 6 large
- salt and pepper - to taste
- parmesan cheese - 1/4 cup, grated
how to
- Pre heat the oven to 350 F (175 C) and grease a large 6 cup muffin pan.
- Cook the bacon over medium heat in a skillet, until most of the fat is rendered, but the bacon is not crispy (the bacon will finish cooking in the oven).
- Separate your dough into 6 portions, and place one in each muffin cup, press or stretch the dough so it comes up the sides of the cup.
- Cross two pieces of bacon in each cup, then crack an egg in each one. Generously salt and pepper, then sprinkle with a little parmesan cheese.
- Bake about 30 minutes, until the egg is set and the dough is browned.

I am going to try using a slice if bread, buttering it , oat nut bread of course. Molding it to muffin tin. I will let you know if it worked 🙂
Please do – sounds like a good idea. 🙂
Yum
will the egg be runny?
Exactly. 🙂
Can these be frozen?
Sure, just wrap them a couple times in plastic wrap before putting them in a freezer safe container or a large ziplock bag. They should be good for 2 months at least.
