Eggs and Bacon at 4am

Oh my! 2 posts in 2 days?!?! Whatever has come over me? ;) I wanted to post about this the other day, but felt that it would work best on it's own.

When your husband leaves for work before the sun is even thinking of starting it's day, it makes it hard to think about breakfast. A lot of early morning people I talk to often just grab a muffin or bagel and coffee and go forth to concur the day. The problem is that bagel or muffin gets turned into sugar (which makes you crash earlier) and fat to be used at a later date and stored in fun places like your gut (love handels anyone?) So I've always been of the mind set that if you can start your day with a protein high breakfast, you're off to a good start.

But how do you make eggs at 4:30 when the whole house is asleep and you need to leave at 5? Easy actually, you prep it head of time. Now I didn't come up with this idea, but I love it!! I found the idea on LifeHacker.com and they got it from here.

Things you'll need:
Eggs
Turkey Bacon (you can use real bacon if you want just cook it by itself first)
Cheese (optional)
Muffin tin
Oil (spray for tin)

It's super simple:
Turn the oven on the heat at 375
Oil the muffin tin
Place bacon in each hole
Crack an egg on top of the bacon
Add cheese if you want
Bake the whole sha-bang for 15 min (ish I had to do 20 in my oven)
Let cool and pop them out



I heard they freeze really well but I only made one tin on sunday so they are already almost gone. I take two of these and put them in my Ninjas lunch bag. Some times he has time to heat them up and eat them before he runs out the door, but most days he eats them on the go. Either way I know he's not going too hungry. ;)
