I have stayed away from posting recipes on this blog until now, mostly because there are so many others doing that sort of thing and I wanted to do something different. That said, I tried something recently that was so simple but so good I thought I had to share it. You might think there isn't much you can do to improve the classic bacon and egg combination, but try this out for size...
Put your oven on to warm up at 200c (400f) and part cook some bacon rashers. Take a muffin baking tray, spray it with non-stick or wipe it with butter, then cut a circle of bread to place in the bottom of each dish. Push the buttered bread right to the bottom (and if you're either American or adventurous drizzle a little maple syrup onto it) and sprinkle some grated cheese on top. Line the dishes with the bacon rashers and break an egg into the well this creates. If you like, you can sprinkle a little more grated cheese on top.
Pop the tray into the hot oven to bake for around 10 minutes if you like runny eggs or 15 minutes if you don't. When you turn them out of the tray they will be muffin shaped, and ideal to serve on a slice of hot buttered toast. These pics don't really do them justice...but you get the idea!
Stuck for ideas for Mothering Sunday this weekend? Give this a go!
