Steak and Eggs

What do you do with leftover steak and mashed potatoes?  Make steak and eggs for breakfast!  I used the mashed potatoes to make potato pancakes, and I reheated the steak.  I paired it with a couple poached eggs, and it was quite the filling breakfast!

Eggs Baked in Turkey Bacon Cups

I am trying to come up with fun new breakfast ideas.  This is a variation on eggs and bacon.  It required very little prep time and can easily be made to serve a crowd.  I am going to be making this on Christmas morning for my family.  Charles loved this as much as poached eggs so I am sure I will be making this frequently.  This recipe is also pretty healthy, turkey bacon only has 1.5 grams of fat per serving, and I only used about a teaspoon of cheese per egg cup.

Serves 3
Total time: 30 minutes

You will need:
1 package Turkey Bacon
6 Eggs
Shredded Cheddar Cheese
a cupcake tin

Step 1:
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.  Place the turkey bacon in am ungreased cupcake tin.  Place a small piece of bacon in the bottom of the cupcake tin, and then wrap a slice around the sides.  Then bake for 10 minutes.

Step 2:
Crack an egg into each of the bacon cups.  Return to the oven for 20 minutes.

Step 3:
Top the egg with some shredded cheddar cheese, or a cheese of your choosing.  And return to the oven for 2 minutes or until the cheese melts.

Breakfast Tacos

Making tacos requires purchasing lots of different ingredients, and I always have leftover taco stuff. Instead of eating tacos night after night I use the ingredients to make breakfast tacos on the weekend. Breakfast tacos are very easy to make and you can add in whatever you like.

You will need:
5 eggs
a splash of milk
soft tortillas
Possible toppings:
salsa
avocado
sour cream
refriend beans
cheese (monteray jack, cheddar, or queso fresco)
tomatoes
caramelized onion

Step 1:
Crack the eggs into a bowl, add a splash of milk. Whisk together. Cook in a frying pan.

Step 2:
Once the eggs are cooked heat the tortillas in the microwave for 15 seconds. Add eggs and toppings to the taco. This morning I had a breakfast taco with avocado, cheese, sour cream and caramelized onion with a side of refried beans.
