Bacon, Egg, and Cheese Breakfast Muffins

One day I was scrollin' through Pinterest and I came across these delicious looking breakfast cups from Adventures of Our Fami-Ly and knew right away that I had to give them a try! If you don't already, stop by Sarah's cute blog and check it out, I think you will like it. She has some cute ideas, like this DIY Pedestal Bowl. 

This recipe was super easy, low on the ingredient count, and YUMMY!

We had made breakfast pizza before (here) and it was similar to that but even better in our opinion!

What you need:

Crescent Rolls (We used the Big & Flaky ones, 1 can made 7 muffins)

Bacon (4 pieces or more)

Eggs (5 for 7 muffins)

Grated Cheese

What to do:

Get out your muffin pan and spray it down good! Don't miss a spot. 

Preheat oven to 350.

Then open up the crescent dough and, one by one, place the triangles of dough into each muffin cup.

Some will hang over the edge. I just squished it down until it lined the whole cup and evened out.

Now, time to cook the bacon! We cooked ours in the microwave, but you can fry it too or bake it or however you normally cook bacon, do it that way!

Set the cooked bacon aside and scramble the eggs. Go ahead and salt and pepper them. You want to cook them until they are almost done, but leave them a tad bit runny because they will finish cooking in the oven.

Fill the cups with the scrambled eggs.

Top with bacon.

 Sprinkle with cheese.

Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 18 minutes, until the crescent dough is golden brown and the cheese is melted.

Let them cool and enjoy!

Thanks again to Sarah for the inspiration for these yummy breakfast muffins!

Breakfast Za

I know what you are thinking...what the heck is Za? Well Za is our way of saying pizza. Silly huh? I used to say it the good ole normal way...until I met Garrett and his family who called it za, now I call it za. Za is short. Za is easy. Our kids will probably say za. Not that pizza is an extremely long or complicated word.

Now that you further understand our weirdness, let's talk about how delicious this breakfast pizza really is! I mean, what's better than breakfast foods anyway? We both come from a family who often had breakfast for dinner, so anytime there are eggs, bacon, and sausage around, it is welcomed into our bellies with a smile on our faces.

Using the wonderful Pinterest, I discovered this recipe here. It called for Egg Beaters, low fat turkey sausage, and light cheese. Psh, yeah right. Not only did I already have pork sausage, full fat grated cheese, and regular eggs, I wasn't about make a reduced fat breakfast item! Don't get me wrong, usually I am all about reduced fat or lower calorie foods, but not for breakfast! It's early in the morning, you are allowed the real thing! : ) However, if you do want to make the lower calorie version you can click that link and it will take you to it! I'm sure it tastes great! But, if you are like us and already have most of the ingredients such as eggs and pork sausage, you can follow our recipe.

You will need:
* Only 4 ingredients!*

• 1 Can of Crescent Rolls

• Pork Sausage (We just eyeballed the amount, so use it as you would like!)

• Grated Cheese (We eyeballed this too. It's up to you!)

• 4 Eggs

You need to:

1. Open the can of crescent rolls and grease a baking sheet or dish. Place the rolls so that they make a half circle. You could make a full circle too if you used another can or maybe cut them in half. Ours formed a half circle, so that's what we made! Roll up the edges to make a crust.

2. Brown ground pork sausage in a skillet. Drain what grease you can and spread the sausage over the unbaked crescent rolls.

3. Crack 4 eggs in a small bowl and scramble with a fork. Pour them over the rolls and sausage. Some will probably run off the edges, ours did, but it didn't matter.

4. Sprinkle grated cheese over the whole thing. We like alot of cheesey goodness so we used quite a bit, but make it the way you like it!

5. Bake in a 375 degree oven for about 25 minutes or until crust is browned and cheese is melted.

Doesn't it look yummy?

Not the most photogenic, but yummy!

You can use a pizza cutter to slice it into triangular shapes if it doesn't pull apart on its own.

We each had a piece that morning and then I kept the leftovers for my early commute to work the next couple of mornings. It is great heated up in the microwave too!

Now back to beating my mother in law in our fantasy football game... : )

Oh, before I forget. I posted a Red Velvet Brownies entry to a linky party on a neat blog called A Creative Princess, and it was one of the top 5 most viewed so it was featured on her page!! To me, that's super exciting! : ) Thanks for featuring me Terri and thanks to her readers for checking out my blog!!
