Recipe #29 - Bird's Nest Breakfast Cups

_______________________________________________________________________________

I found this one on my friend Clay's Facebook page. Actually it popped up on my News Feed after he liked it. Nevertheless, it looked amazing and had to try it.

This was originally was supposed to be a "healthy" recipe. All the way from turkey bacon to the egg substitutes. Of course I scratched all that and used the good shiz.

So, it's that time of the year again, time to take an extra long time to make egg recipes because I have to tap out the top and shake the heck out of the egg to try and extract the insides. All in the effort to have enough confetti eggs on Easter to turn our back yard into a confetti war zone.


Oh well, it's always worth it in the end... Lol. I digress. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.


In a medium size bowl, beat together the eggs, milk, parsley, salt and pepper. Set aside.


In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat for 2 minutes on each side or until partially set but not crisp. Coat six muffin cups with butter; wrap two bacon strips around the inside of each cup. Fill each with 1/4 cup egg mixture; top with cheese.


Place into the oven for 18-20 minutes or until set. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan. I served with a side of biscuits. Dad presumed to put his whole Bird's Nest inside the biscuit, which actually looked yummy.

However, I think this recipe is all for show. It tasted just like bacon, eggs and cheese in a different form. Maybe if it had a sauce or something to compliment it, then it might have been a little more interesting end result.
