Bird's Nest Breakfast Cups

Alright...so as weird as these little breakfast cups may look in the picture, they are actually super cool in reality. I saw these in a magazine and instantly wanted to make them! When I cooked them, they made me think of something you'd see at a restaurant. They are simple, delicious, and just look fancier than normal scrambled eggs and bacon. You must try them!

Ingredients

12 bacon strips

6 large eggs

6 tablespoons shredded cheese (Mexican blend)

1 tablespoon Italian seasoning OR parsley

salt & pepper to taste

1. In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat for 2 minutes on each side (until partially set, but not crispy)
2. Preheat oven to 350*
3. Coat 6 muffin cups with cooking spray; wrap two bacon strips around the inside of each cup.
4. Scramble the eggs in a bowl, and fill each muffin cup with roughly 1/4 cup egg mixture (about the same as one whole egg)
5. Top each cup with a tablespoon of shredded cheese, a sprinkle of the seasoning, and a little salt & pepper.
6. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until set. Cool for a few minutes before removing from the pan.
7. Yum!
