Canadian Bacon and Egg Cups

This is a great way make a usual breakfast a little more fun, it is super easy, and takes only 20 minutes start to finish to prepare and cook. You can tweek it however you like to meet your tastes. Add veggies (I would saute them first) and you can either soft-cook or scramble your eggs. This is also a great dish to bring to get togethers because it is individual servings. We do breakfast for dinner almost once a week at our house and this is always a crowd-pleaser. Also, now that I'm pregnant I'm always looking for ways to add protein to my meals. :)

Canadian Bacon Cups

Ingredients:
 1 pack of Canadian Bacon (We get the Celebrity brand from Trader Joe's which comes with 10 slices)
10 eggs
Shredded Cheddar Cheese
Green onions (optional), finely chopped
Butter
Salt & Pepper

Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350.  Grease a muffin tin with the butter. Place one slice of Canadian bacon in the bottom of each muffin, pressing it into the bottom of the muffin cup. You can either just crack the eggs directly into the the muffin cups on top of the Canadian bacon or crack them into a bowl, add a splash of milk and whisk them before pouring them into the cups. Sprinkle each muffin with cheese, green onions, salt and pepper. Bake for 15-17 minutes until the eggs are firm and no longer runny.
