If you haven't noticed already, I really love making egg cups for breakfast! They're easy to make in batches & a quick breakfast to eat before your go to work or post-workout. There are so many different varieties you can make & I can assure you that I'll be sharing all my recipes as I experiment!
This egg cup is packed with flavor from dried herbs, crispy bacon, a muenster cheese "shell," & No Crumbs Left's marinated onions. I can't take credit for the marinated onion recipe, but they do not disappoint. Teri from No Crumbs Left was one of the first Whole 30 bloggers I followed. She has amazing cookbooks, all the "magic elixers," & beautifully photographed foods. I hope to have as much food art & creativity as her one day (check out her Instagram).
Line a baking sheet with foil for easy cleanup, lay the bacon in a single layer, & bake for 35 minutes.
Remove the bacon from the oven & set the slices on a paper towel to absorb the excess oil. Then chop the bacon into bite-sized pieces
While the bacon is cooking, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil on medium high heat, add the shredded potatoes & cook for about 7-10 minutes until lightly browned.
In a large mixing bowl, crack 1 dozen eggs & add your seasoning.
Beat the eggs with a hand mixer or immersion blender to make them extra fluffy.
Take a silicone muffin tray & line the tray with 2 half slices of the muenster cheese to make your "cheese shell."
Layer a tablespoon or 2 of the potatoes on top of the cheese & push down into the muffin mold.
Add the chopped bacon on top of the potatoes, ladle in your egg mixture until it is filled just below brim of the muffin tin.
Top with a few slices of Teri's marinated onions.
Bake the egg cups for 35 minutes, remove from the oven & pack them in an airtight container to eat throughout the week.
