Kim'S Famous Breakfast Egg Muffins - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
6 pillsbury buttermilk biscuits (from can, 8 count)
1/2 cup bacon, diced
1/2 cup onion, diced
1/2 cup spinach (frozen and drained well)
4 eggs
3 tablespoons light cream (or you can use milk)
1 cup shredded swiss cheese (gruyere cheese is a good substitute)
1 teaspoon butter
salt
pepper
Preparation
-
I like to use a big muffin tin that holds 6 muffins versus 8. It makes a much better muffin. You can buy the disposable ones right in your grocery store for just a couple of dollars. It is worth it. So preheat the oven to 350 and spray the tin with Pam or any non stick spray.
Fillings -- In a small saute pan, heat up the olive oil and saute the bacon and onion until the bacon is crisp and the onion is soft on medium high heat. The last minute add in the thawed spinach, salt and pepper and cook lightly breaking up the spinach and just cooking to heat through. Remove and drain on a plate lined with a paper towel.
Biscuits -- Take the 6 biscuits and cut each one into 8-10 small pieces. Since the biscuits usually come in 8's, save the other two or bake them separately and use for a nice light sandwich later in the week. You only need 6 for this recipe. Add 1 cut up biscuit into each muffin cup.
Filling the Muffin Tin -- Add the spinach, onion and bacon mix on top of the biscuits pieces to the 6 muffin cups.
Custard -- In a small bowl, mix the eggs, cream or milk, 1/4 cup of the cheese, a little more salt and pepper and whisk until well combined and pour on top of the vegetable mixture into each muffin cup. Use a knife, fork or spoon to make sure the eggs get all the way down to the bottom of the muffin cup around all the biscuit bites. Top with cheese on each one and cook about 30 minutes until golden brown. Let it rest a few minutes just to let is set before you remove them, about 3-5 minutes.
As I said, make any combination you like. All cheese, sausage, ham, bacon, vegetarian -- there are endless combinations. And, this is a great way to use some leftovers in your fridge. ENJOY!
