Biscuit Cups

I've seen a lot of variations of this recipe all over the internet and I really want to say to people "You are making this way more complicated than it needs to be!" 

I think I got inspired from a photo I saw somewhere.  All I know for sure is I was walking through the grocery store thinking of what to make for Christmas breakfast and came up with this.

Biscuit Cups with Eggs, Cheese & Bacon! 

What I did was VERY easy.  After making them I looked this up online as I was thinking I had maybe seen this on Pinterest which is where I found all the overly complicated recipes. 

What I bought:

• 1 roll of premade biscuits
• Eggs
• Shredded Cheese
• BACON (you can sub what ever mean or lack of meat you like)

What I did:

• Precook the bacon so it is a little under done.
• Place the biscuits on a greased baking sheet several inches apart (I used aluminum foil in the photo above as this makes clean up SO much easier).
• Press down the middle of the biscuits so they are flattened out with a thick ridge around the outside- essentially so they are little bowls. 
• Drop a little shredded cheese into each biscuit bowl.
• Crack an egg into each biscuit bowl.
• Salt and Pepper to taste.
• Top with bacon (or other meats).
• Bake at 375 deg. for 18 minutes.

My father wanted even more cheese so I added a little to the top of his.  For this I took the biscuits out at the 15 minute point, added the cheese, then cooked for an additional 3 minutes.  Just long enough to melt the cheese and not burn it.

I made these Christmas morning for my family and then used the leftovers to make these two today.  The one shown above was the only one where the egg spilled out of the biscuit.  So unless that bothers you that one out of ten might over flow- no need to go through all the trouble I've seen online of pressing dough into cookie tins or mixing up egg concoctions to pour in.  Unless of course you want to. 

Also- these are something you can make to take on the run.  The egg yoke looks possibly runny, but it cooked through.  So although my family did the fancy fork and knife thing, you can just grab one and go.
