Ingredients

  • ½ cup bell pepper roasted, seeded and peeled
  • 4 lices Canadian bacon
  • 4 eggs
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
  • ⅓ cup part skim mozzarella cheese shredded
  • prinkle parsley or chives for garnish optional

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 350°.
  2. Spray vegetable spray into 4 regular sized muffin tins. Place a slice of canadian bacon in each of the prepared tins and press it into the muffin form.
  3. Chop the bell pepper into 1/2" dice and divide evenly among the muffin tins.
  4. Whisk the eggs in a small bowl and season with the salt and pepper. Divide the eggs among the muffin tins. Sprinkle each of the egg cups with cheese and bake for 12-15 minutes until the center is just set. Turn up the oven to broil and continue to cook for 1-2 minutes to brown the top lightly. Remove from the oven and let rest for 1-2 minutes. Use a sharp knife to loosen the edges of the egg cups and transfer to a platter or plate. Sprinkle with parsley or chives and serve.

Notes

  • For roasted bell pepper - either use a jarred bell pepper, or roast your own, by heating the oven to 400° and placing the pepper on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil (to catch juices and make for easier cleanup). Roast for 25-30 minutes or until skin is blackened and pepper inside is soft. Transfer to a bowl and cover tightly with saran wrap. Cool completely, then peel and seed the pepper to use in this recipe.
