Breakfast cups


I think I got the idea for these from a picture I saw on Pinterest but I didn't go by a recipe. I did use a recipe for the pastry. It's listed below. 
These are great if you like to eat breakfast on the go - they have egg, dough, bacon, and cheese and are delicious! The best part is that you can make them before hand and heat them when you want them. 

Ingredients:
Filling 
1/2 pound of bacon
5 large eggs
2 tablespoons of milk
1 cup of grated cheese of your choice
Pastry
2 and 1/2 cups of flour
1 cup of margarine or butter 
4-6 teaspoons of water

Preheat oven to 350. 

Begin by making your pastry dough. Using a fork, cream together the flour and butter until it looks like bread crumbs and all looks mixed. 
Add water slowly while mixing it in - you want the dough to be not sticky but not falling apart. 
Cover and sit in the fridge for 30 min.

Pre-cook your bacon a little bit - if you like it crispy then you should cook it a lot (I did this the day before). Once it is cooled, cut it into small pieces. 

Crack your eggs into a large bowl and add the milk. Whisk until combined. Add your bacon and your shredded cheese and mix together. 


Take your dough out of the fridge and divide it into 12 equal parts. 
Take one chunk and start working it in a circular motion between two fingers - you want to make a flat circle. Place the dough in a greased muffin tin and mould to the inside. Repeat with remaining dough. 
You may want to brush each cup with a little margarine to prevent but in but I didn't have any problems. 


Take your egg mixture and, using a deep spoon or ice cream scoop, fill each cup of pastry. You should have enough to fill each one completely. 

Bake in the oven at 350 degrees for 20-30 minutes, or until pastry is golden brown and egg is cooked through.

Pierogies and Scrambled Eggs

Image
I absolutely LOVE pierogies, but I've always made them the same way; boil and then fry them. So this time, I decided to try something new, and pair them with some scrambled eggs for breakfast (or lunch). You will need: Ready-made pierogies (or home made, if you prefer)\ BBQ chicken seasoning Garlic salt Celery salt Two eggs (per person, I only made for me :P) 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese Butter or Pam for greasing the pan First, boil the pierogies until they are soft (cooked inside and no longer frozen). Grease a baking pan and place the pierogies on the pan. Sprinkle with chicken, celery and garlic seasoning on both sides and top with some mozzarella cheese. Broil for a few minutes, until the cheese is melted and pierogies have become slightly browned.  To make the eggs, crack them and put them in a small bowl, add a splash of milk, some BBQ seasoning, and the rest of the cheese, and mix until the eggs are all mixed together. Put in a frying pan stirring often to...

Cream cheese stuffed, bacon wrapped pork loin

Image
This is comfort food; there is nothing healthy about this.  I had a pack of nine of those small boneless pork loin chops and decided to do something super unhealthy with it! For 9 rolls, you need: 9 chops 1 package of garlic and herb cream cheese 1/2 cup of sweet BBQ sauce  1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese  1 teaspoon of garlic salt 1 pack of bacon Begin by tenderizing the meat to flatten it out. You can use whatever tools you have that work to do this; a meat tenderizer is ideal though.  Mix the cheese, cream cheese and garlic salt together in a bowl.  Spoon about a tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture into the centre of each pork chop, and roll it up. Coat it in BBQ sauce.  Wrap two slices of bacon around each pork chop roll.  Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and bake for 20-30 minutes, or until the pork is cooked through. If the bacon is not sufficiently crispy, put the oven on broil for a few minutes.

Garlic Basil Chicken with Tomato Butter Sauce (stolen and revised)

So I started off cooking this meal exactly as the recipe stated, but I didn't have all the exact ingredients, and the flavours just weren't where I wanted them to be, so I made some changes. I'll post the link to the original recipe, and then write out what I did below. I'm sorry I don't have any pictures this time! The only downfall of this recipe is that it's a bit time-consuming. However, you could always cook the chicken ahead of time, which would help. Original recipe is here . INGREDIENTS 1 lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts salt and pepper 2 tsp garlic salt 2 tsp lemon pepper 2 tsp paprika 1/4 cup of half&half cream ¼ cup olive oil 5-6 roma tomatoes, diced 2 cloves garlic, minced 1/2 small white onion, minced 3 tbsp dried basic  ¼ cup margerine 8 ounces pasta, like spaghetti, linguine, or bucatini (I used spaghettini) 1/2 cup of mushroom Ragu (if needed) INSTRUCTIONS Cover the chicken with plastic wrap and pound each p...
