BACON BREAKFAST CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F. Place foil liner in each of 12 regular-size muffin cups. Generously spray with cooking spray.
• In large bowl, mix potatoes, oil, salt and pepper. Divide evenly among cups; press lightly.
• Bake 45 to 55 minutes or until golden brown.
• In medium bowl, beat eggs and milk. Stir in bacon and cheese. Firmly press potatoes in muffin cups with bottom of 1/4-cup dry measuring cup. Top each with slightly less than 1/4 cup egg mixture.

BACON BREAKFAST CUPCAKE

Steps:

• For the cupcakes: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line two 12-count muffin tins with paper cupcake liners.
• Combine the all-purpose flour, cake flour and baking soda in bowl; set aside. In a separate bowl, mix the sour cream, vanilla and eggs; set aside.
• Heat the beer and butter in a saucepan over medium-high heat until the butter is just melted. Stir in the cheese, remove from the heat and whisk in the brown sugar. Slowly add the beer mixture to the egg mixture, stirring. Fold/gently stir in the dry mixture, then fold in the bacon.
• Fill the muffin cups three-quarters full with the batter. Bake until an inserted toothpick comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Let the cupcakes cool on a wire rack.
• For the hollandaise sauce: In the container of a blender, combine the egg yolks, lemon juice, Worcestershire, vinegar and hot sauce. Cover and blend for about 5 seconds.
• Put the clarified butter in a glass measuring cup. Heat in the microwave until completely melted and hot, about 1 minute. Set the blender on high speed and pour the butter into the egg yolk mixture in a thin stream; it should thicken almost immediately. Fold in the chopped parsley once the sauce has thickened. Season with salt and pepper. Keep the sauce warm until serving by placing the blender container in a pan of hot tap water.
• Top each cupcake with a fried egg and add some hollandaise. Serve warm.

EASY BREAKFAST CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease 6 cups of a muffin tin with cooking spray.
• Cut 6 circles out of the bread slices using a glass or cup. Place 1 circle in the bottom of each of the muffin cups. Wrap 1 slice of bacon around the inside of each muffin cup.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the bread is toasted and bacon is cooked, about 8 minutes.

• Return to the hot oven and bake until eggs are set, about 12 minutes.

BREAKFAST "CUPCAKES"

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400. Spray a cupcake tin with cooking spray. Cut 12 circles into your bread slices, two per slice. (I would like to try this with mini bagels or English muffins for ease of preparation.) You can use a cookie cutter or a glass for the circles. Put one circle in each cupcake tin.
• Brown bacon, but do not cook all the way. Wrap the bacon slices around the inside of the baking cups. Bake for 5-10 minutes till bread is toasted.
• Sprinkle a Tbsp of cheese on top of each piece of bread. Crack an egg into each cup without breaking the yolk. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. If you don't like sunny side up eggs, you can always beat them before pouring them in so they're more scrambled -- it just doesn't look as cute!
• Bake for about 12 minutes, till the egg is set.

DARK CHOCOLATE BACON CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium-high heat until evenly brown. Drain, crumble and set aside.

Stir just until blended. Mix in 3/4 of the bacon, reserving the rest for garnish. Spoon the batter into the prepared cups, dividing evenly.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the tops spring back when lightly pressed, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool in the pan set over a wire rack. When cool, arrange the cupcakes on a serving platter. Frost with your favorite chocolate frosting and sprinkle reserved bacon crumbles on top. Dust with additional cocoa powder.
