15 Minute Baked Eggs




These are PURE genius. 

My husband and I have been trying to lose weight. My biggest  problem is not eating anything for breakfast and then scarfing down whatever is in reach as soon as I get hungry. 

Lets face it, cooking breakfast is, at times, a horrible chore. 
The minute I saw this, I tried it- and boy I'm glad I did!

First off, preheat your oven to 350 and get out your muffin pan. This is a "mammoth muffin" pan...but I'm sure any will do. Maybe NOT the mini one though. You'll end up with mini egg bites. No one wants mini egg bites for breakfast.

Just sayin'!

Spray the pan with non-stick cooking spray.
Crack your eggs directly into the pan for "yolk" eggs.
For my eight month old, I made 3 scrambled eggs.
Mix those in a separate bowl, one by one, and pour into the pan.
 Add a bit of milk to those if desired.

(Add spinach, bacon, sausage, cheese, or seasonings if you want as well!)

Now, bake them for 10-15 minutes. It took my oven every bit of 15 minutes to cook them. 



Serve them hot! They fit perfectly on english muffins or biscuits.
They can also be made ahead and refrigerated or frozen!
Super easy, pop in the microwave kind of breakfast! ;-)




Enjoy!

Easy Potato Skins


I'm not even sure if there are words to describe just how delicious these were. I have tried time after time to make a good restaurant style potato skin but they just weren't great.
This one though, O-M-G!
Perfection!
Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, top these puppies with whatever you like. 

Ingredients:

4-5 Baking Potatoes
3 tbsp Olive/ Vegetable Oil
4 Sliced Cooked Bacon- Crumbled
2 C. Cheddar cheese
Diced Green Onions (optional)
Salt
Pepper
Garlic Powder
Onion Powder


Preheat oven to 425

Slice potatoes as seen in the picture above. Make them a bit thicker so they are sturdy after cooking.
In a bowl, add oil and toss potatoes. Arrange them on a foil lined, greased pan. Sprinkle with salt & pepper. (Use your favorite seasoning as well for added awesomeness!) Bake for 30 minutes.

After 30 minutes, take one out and test it. They should be done. Top with cheese, crumbled bacon, green onions, you name it and sprinkle with a bit more salt/pepper/onion powder.
Bake until cheese is melted.
Let cool a few minutes, they will be HOT!
Serve with your favorite sauce & enjoy!

Om nom nom...
