BACON. Bacon. Bacon.
Where are all my bacon lovers at?
My classic weekend breakfast contains bacon, eggs and cheese in some way, shape, or form. Usually, I do a classic sandwich, of course. But every now and then I like to spice it up. This weekend, it’s in cup form.
Not only is this SUPER simple to put together, but it’s also great if you’re on the go or if you’re serving brunch for a crowd. You can put it in the oven and step away for a bit. Who doesn’t love that? You can also swap in a different type of meat if you prefer. Or you can go meatless and top with some mushrooms if that’s your style.
I used mozzarella cheese for mine, but that’s just because it’s a personal favorite. Some others that I think work nicely are cheddar, gruyere, and provolone.
Once you pull them out of the oven, don’t forget to top with some chopped chives. It’s key.
