I like this recipe alot, I made it last Sunday morning for breakfast. I got it from Whitnee's cookbook called 'Brunch,' and I wanted to make it seeing how she is obsessed with brunch. Unfortunately I would never have the time to make all the dishes I'd like to in order to have a proper brunch, but this is a great start. These pastries are very tasty and filling, they have also have a nice flaky crust. They're pretty easy, so don't get discouraged because it's a bit of a small process, quick however.
This recipe makes 12 Pastries. You'll need a muffin pan and...
- 1 box Pillsbury prepared pie dough (much easier than making crust from scratch for a simple dish)
- All-purpose flour (for rolling)
- 2 tbsp whole-grain mustard (I bought Grey Poupon and it was great)
- 12 slices of lean bacon, cooked and diced (I used Turkey bacon, MMmmm)
- 12 small eggs
- Pepper
- 1 Cup of Cheddar Cheese
- 2 tbsp parsley
Preheal the oven to 350F. Lightly grease a standard 12 cup muffin pan.
I used a single Pillsbury pie crust to roll out 10 pastries, if you don't want to waste 2 of them that are in the package.
Unroll the Pillsbury dough and roll the dough thinner to about 1/4-inch thickness on a lightly floured counter and cut 12 circles approximately 5 inches in diameter. I had to find the perfect small bowl that was 5 inches wide. Use dough cutouts to line the cups of the muffin pan, gently pleating the sides of the dough as you ease it into the molds.
Place 1/2 teaspoon of the mustard into the base of each pastry shell and top with a little of the bacon.
Break an egg into a cup, spoon the yolk into the pastry shell, then add enough of the egg white to fill the pastry shell about two-thirds full. Do not overfill. Season to taste with salt and pepper and sprinkle the grated cheese evenly over the tops of the pastries.
yeah these look mad good. i'm trying to decide what to put inside besides bacon ... maybe mushrooms and feta? mmmm.
