Egg Muggin’

This is a super simple breakfast on its own or you can modify it to create a breakfast sandwich.  I had my Egg Muggin’ with bacon because, well, isn’t everything better with bacon?  So, the Egg Muggin’ is simple because it is made in a mug.  You can eat it directly out of the mug – I’m thinkin’ kids would like that.  Or, as shown above, after cooking, slide the Egg Muggin’ out of the mug and put it on a plate or between two english muffins and breakfast is served! In less than 2 minutes!  How many times do you see: Prep time: 1 minute; Cook time: 60 seconds?

** You could do three eggs in the mug, but you would want to increase each cooking time by 30-45 seconds

Ingredients

2 eggs

2 Tbsp of milk

2 Tbsp shredded cheese of your choice (I used cheddar)

Garnish (salt and peppar, green onion, or bacon crumbles)

Directions

1. Get out a microwave safe mug and coat the inside with cooking spray

2.  Add eggs and milk; beat until blended

3.  Microwave on High for 45 seconds

4. Stir

5. Microwave again until eggs are almost set – about 30-45 more

6. Top with cheese and/or any other garnish

7. Eat directly from mug or remove egg and place between whole grain bread or english muffin

 

Bacon Breakfast Tarts

This makes 8 tarts! Feel free to go bonkers with bacon.  I recommend 4 slices, but you can really go with 8!

Ingredients

  • 8 of (1-ounce) slices whole-wheat white sandwich bread, crusts removed
  • Cooking spray
  • 1/2 cup of 2% or skim reduced-fat milk
  • 4 of large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 2 tablespoons of chopped green onions
  • 4 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 1/2 cup of sharp cheddar cheese

Preparation

  1. Preheat oven to 425°.
  2. Lightly coat both sides of bread with cooking spray. Press each bread slice into the cup of a muffin tin.
  3. Bake at 425° for 8-10 minutes or until bread is lightly toasted. Cool slightly.
  4. Reduce oven temperature to 350°.
  5. Combine milk and eggs, stirring well with a whisk.
  6. Divide the egg mixture evenly among bread cups.
  7. Sprinkle onions and bacon evenly over tarts; top each tart with 1 tablespoon cheese. Bake at 350° for 15 minutes or until set.

Delish!
