Best Eggs In Baskets With Candied Bacon Bits Recipes

EGGS IN BASKETS

Steps:

• Special equipment: jumbo sized 6-cup muffin tin
• Heat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a food processor fitted with the grater attachment, push chunks of the potato through the chute to grate. Once all the potatoes are grated, put them into a piece of cheesecloth or a clean kitchen towel and squeeze to remove the moisture. Add the potatoes to a large bowl, stir in the melted butter and season well with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Spray the muffin tin lightly with nonstick cooking spray. Press the grated potatoes evenly into the muffin cups being sure the potatoes go up the sides and a thin layer and covers the bottom. Bake until the top edges turn light golden brown and the potatoes are cooked through, about 35 to 40 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl toss together the prosciutto with maple syrup and a few grinds of freshly ground black pepper. Set aside.
• Remove the potatoes from the oven and gently crack an egg into each cup. Bake until the egg whites set but the yolk remains runny, about 6 to 8 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and set the oven to broil. Top the eggs with grated cheese and put the maple prosciutto on another sheet tray. Broil both until cheese melts, and prosciutto crisps slightly, about 1 minute.
• Top the eggs with crispy prosciutto and serve immediately.

EGGS IN BASKETS WITH CANDIED BACON BITS RECIPE - (4.6/5)

Steps:

• Special equipment: jumbo sized 6-cup muffin tin (or six small oven-proof ramekins) Heat the oven to 350°F. In a food processor fitted with the grater attachment, push chunks of the potato through the chute to grate. Once all the potatoes are grated, put them into a piece of cheesecloth or a clean kitchen towel and squeeze to remove the moisture. Add the potatoes to a large bowl, stir in the olive oil (or you can use melted butter) and season well with salt and pepper, to taste. Spray the muffin tin (or ramekins) lightly with nonstick cooking spray. Press the grated potatoes evenly into the muffin cups being sure the potatoes go up the sides and a thin layer and covers the bottom. Bake until the top edges turn light golden brown and the potatoes are cooked through, about 35 to 40 minutes. If using candied bacon, make this before baking the eggs: PREPARATION: Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place a cooling rack on top of the baking sheet (don't skip this step, or the bacon will turn out soggy and unevenly cooked). NOTE: you can use a broiling pan, but cleanup is much harder. Spread some brown sugar on a plate, and press each slice of bacon to coat evenly. Lay out each bacon slice, evenly, on the baking/cooling rack. Bake for about 10 minutes; remove from the oven and turn over with tongs. Lower the temperature to 350°F and don't wander off-- as the fat is rendered and the brown sugar caramelizes, the tray can begin to smoke and you could burn the bacon! Bake for about 5 -10 more minutes, depending on the thickness of the bacon. Remove from the oven, and be careful. It's very hot! Allow to sit for 3-5 minutes and then enjoy. Once these are cooled enough to handle, cut into small pieces-- make extra, because you'll want to eat it all! If using maple prosciutto variation: Meanwhile, in a small bowl toss together the prosciutto with maple syrup and a few grinds of freshly ground black pepper. Set aside. Remove the potatoes from the oven and gently crack an egg into each cup. Bake until the egg whites set but the yolk remains runny, about 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from the oven and set the oven to broil. Top the eggs with grated cheese and put the candied bacon (or maple prosciutto on another sheet tray). Broil both until cheese melts, and prosciutto crisps slightly, about 1 minute. Top the eggs with crispy bacon (or maple prosciutto) and serve immediately.

DEVILED EGGS WITH CANDIED BACON

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, a pinch of cayenne and the cinnamon. Place the bacon on a wire rack set over a rimmed baking sheet. Sprinkle each slice of bacon with some of the spiced sugar and bake, about 10 minutes. Flip the bacon, sprinkle with the remaining spiced sugar and continue to cook until crispy, about 10 more minutes. Remove the bacon from the oven and allow to cool. When the bacon is cool, mince it and set aside, reserving a quarter of it for garnishing the eggs.
• Put the cold eggs in the bottom of a medium saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring water to a boil and remove the pan from the heat. Cover the pan with a lid and let stand for 12 minutes. Drain the eggs and rinse with cold water. Let the eggs cool a bit and then peel when they are still warm (eggs are much easier to peel when they are warm). After they are peeled, you can then store them, covered, in the fridge.
• Mix together the mayonnaise, mustard, dill, cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne, the scallions and the minced bacon in a medium mixing bowl. Season with the salt.
• Slice the eggs in half lengthwise. Gently remove the yolks by pressing your thumb against the back of the yolk to pop it out of the white. Add the yolks to the bowl with the mayonnaise mixture. Mash together, using a fork, until smooth.
• Put the filling in a re-sealable bag. Cut one end off and pipe the filling into the egg whites. Sprinkle with the paprika, extra bacon bits and dill before serving.
• Cook's Notes: A wire rack is a great way to cook bacon because the air can circulate around the bacon making it crispy and delicious.
• Plastic bags are a great tool to use in place of a piping bag, easy and disposable.
