Breakfast Cupcake Recipes

EGG CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until starting to brown, about 5 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels.
• Line 6 cups of a nonstick muffin tin with bacon slices. Chop leftover bacon slices and sprinkle over the bottom of each cup.
• Whisk eggs, milk, butter, parsley, salt, and pepper together in a large bowl. Stir in ham and mozzarella cheese.
• Pour egg mixture into the bacon-lined cups; top with Gouda cheese.
• Bake in the preheated oven until Gouda cheese is melted and eggs are set, about 15 minutes.

SAVORY BREAKFAST CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 360 degrees F (182 degrees C).
• Beat 1 egg in a bowl using an electric mixer. Add flour, milk, baking powder, brown sugar, and salt. Mix until smooth like pancake batter.
• Whisk the remaining eggs in a separate bowl until fluffy.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook sausage, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and crumbly, about 5 minutes.
• Pour about 1/4 inch of pancake batter into each cup of a 12-cup muffin tin. Add 1/4 inch of beaten eggs to each cup.
• Bake in the preheated oven, about 8 minutes. Top cupcakes with sausage and continue baking until set, about 8 minutes more. Let cool, about 5 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.

BACONY BREAKFAST CUPCAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Prepare a cupcake pan with canola oil spray.
• Prepare a broiler pan and place the bacon on the pan. Cook until well crisped, about 6 minutes. Remove from the oven and reserve 1 tablespoon bacon drippings.
• Reduce the heat to 350 degrees F. Mix the chives into the pancake batter and pour into the cupcake tins so that they are 3/4 full. Bake for 12 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, add the mascarpone, confectioners' sugar, maple syrup and the reserved bacon drippings. Stir well to combine and set aside. Crumble the cooked bacon and set aside.
• Remove the cupcakes from the oven and let cool on a cooling rack, about 10 minutes. Frost each cupcake with the bacon icing and sprinkle with the crumbled bacon.
