Give everyone’s favorite breakfast a Cupid
Life may be like a box of chocolates but we think love is more like a bag of potato chips filled with mostly the really awesome folded kinds and a couple burnt ones in the mix because nothing is perfect, you know? Your heart-shaped sweet tooth is probably satisfied at this point so we’re hooking you up with Valentine’s Day’s lesser celebrated heroes, savory dishes and snacks! Bon appetit, babe!
This Valentine’s Day take on the classic breakfast sandwich is a cinch to prepare, and looks pretty darn adorable any day of the week.
Ingredients:
3-6 slices bread
Butter or Smart Balance spread
6 slices bacon
6 large eggs
Salt + pepper (to taste)
Tools:
Circular cookie or biscuit cutter
Heart-shaped silicone muffin pan
Instructions:
Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees F.
Using a cookie cutter, egg fry ring or empty can, cut six rounds of bread. Using a rolling pin or your hands, flatten rounds slightly.
Cut rounds in half and butter one side.
Place buttered-side out in the muffin cups, using extra bread to fill in any gaps (if needed). (If using a pan with more than 6 cups, space your egg cups so everything cooks evenly).
Fry bacon in a skillet until partially cooked, 4-5 minutes. (It will finish cooking in the oven.)
Place the bacon in the cup, covering the bottom. (It may be easier to first cut each piece in half).
Crack an egg in each cup. Season with salt and pepper. Bake until egg whites are just set, about 20 minutes.
