"I was looking for something a little different for lunch box snacks and came across this recipe in a magazine a few years ago. They can be served hot or cold and keep for up to 3 days in the fridge. DD loves to take these to school or as a snack to microwave at dancing. Sometime's I pop a cherry tomato in, or chopped spring onions or cheese on top which is also nice. The options are endless!!! Another idea a friend had, was to use minature muffin pans and she made these for appetiser's at her party !!!"

I made a bunch of these and sent them off with my husband to share with his hunting buddies while away for the deer hunt. This makes for a great on the go breakfast.

These are really good tasting and easy to make. I didn't have one of those pans so I used muffin pans. They are obviously smaller. But my husband gave me an idea. Since muffin pans are smaller, he said if I want room for more ingredients, then mix it all with the eggs first, then put in the pans. Then they won't overflow. But I like it with just the bacon. I did pour maple syrup over mine. Yum.

These are easy and taste great, but I wasn't sure if the bacon should be put on raw, which I did. Next time I will pre-cook the bacon, as I didn't feel it was done enough and didn't want to cook the egg any longer.

I have made this on a number of occasions and we just love it especially as I vary the timing depending on how each person likes their eggs. Thanks Tisme for a great recipe I know I will be using for years to come.
