Athena's Heaping Recipes

Meaty Breakfast Eggs

I made this for breakfast this morning with some left overs out of my fridge. I'm going to list some suggestions to dress it up for the holidays after I give the basic recipe.

8 eggs
2 slices of cooked thick sliced bacon
1 Cheddar braut thinly sliced
1/4 c. milk
1/2c. cheddar cheese
1 t. bacon fat*

*You can use oil of your choice if you don't like using fat. However, no excuses here, I love the stuff.

DIRECTIONS: Allow bacon fat* to melt on warmed frying pan. Add bacon and braut, and let crisp up a bit, then add wisked eggs, milk, and cheddar. Scramble over medium heat.

ADVICE: The braut in this brings a little bit of a change from the traditional breakfast sausage.  Now, if you want to impress the relatives make this into a breakfast casserole. You could also try a little Cajun seasoning instead of salt.

 NEEDS:
4 more eggs
1/4 c. more cheddar cheese
2 to 3 more slices of bacon
1 more cheddar braut
2 rolls of crescent rolls


 DIRECTIONS: Crisp meat as above. Place crescent rolls on bottom and egg mixture on top. Cook at 350 for about 25 minutes or until eggs cooked throughout. If you like the lighter yellow look of your eggs cover for the first 15-20 minutes and then uncover for the remaining time.

LOL! I love your comment about the bacon grease. I should give you Steve's recipe for candied bacon- you'd love it..of course it adds insult to injury, but you don't have to eat it all the time!
