Breakfast Egg Muffins Recipe

I was supposed to proved this recipe online quite a while ago and I took so long getting this whole thing up that I forgot to post it anywhere, so here is as good as place as any...



This recipe will yeild 12 egg muffins 


What You Need:
-10 Eggs
-Any Chopped Veggies (onions, green onions, mushrooms, jalpenos, bell peppers etc)
-1-2 Pouches of Real Bacon Pieces Bacon Bits (found where regular bacon bits are)
(You could also just cook whatever meat you wanted to use and then chop it up
or use left over meat from last nights dinner but I find the pouches of bacon bits not only
taste just like fresh bacon but it keeps this recipe simple and QUICK!)
-1/2 Cup of Milk (I think 2% works best)
-Oil To Grease Muffin Pan
-2 Teaspoon Garlic Powder
-1 Teaspoon Dried or Chopped Basil
-1 Teaspoon Onion powder
(increase or decrease these according to taste preferences!)
-Shredded Cheddar or mozerella cheese (to taste)
Directions:
-Preheat Oven to 375
-Grease muffin pan
-In large bowl lightly scramble the eggs and add garlic powder, onion powder, basil, salt, pepper and milk.
-Stir until everything is blended nicely.
-Laddle egg mix into muffin tins filling to about half way
-Put desired toppings in each muffin tin (great thing about this is the way you can customize!)
-Top each with choice of cheese (and a dash of pepper)
-Place in oven and bake check after 15 minutes. If not done, keep checking at 5-10 minute intervals. Should take no longer than 30 minutes
-You should pull them out when they are just about done and let them finish cooking as they sit to cool
-Serve immediately or reheat later or the next day. refrigerate over night and they are even tasty cold for a breakfast on the go!


Let me know how they turn out!

What's That All About?

Some of you may wonder why I named my blog what I did, some of you may not care at all, but regardless, I'll tell you.
There is an old Broadway play called, 70 Girls 70, about a bunch of elderly people who steal from high end department stores and use the money from selling the stolen goods in an effort to purchase a posh Upper West Side hotel for their retirement. In the play there is a song called "Coffee in a Cardboard Cup." This song is about how no one has time today to stop an exchange pleasantries, or even offer a genuine greeting. We are all too busy buying our coffee's to go and have given up the classic cultural pastime of sitting in a diner chatting it up with the servers or other patrons while we slowly consume a cup of liquid awesomeness. (Ok, so I like coffee...)
I thoroughly enjoy the song and often when I hear it, I am reminded about how I don't have time for anything, or how I don't make time for anything. I can't remember the last time I just sat and enjoyed a cup of coffee in the place where I bought it unless I was busy utilizing the free WiFi access, which I don't believe counts as quite the same thing.
So what is my blog about? It's about me reflecting on life, taking a moment to stop and share with you something encouraging, something fun, maybe a new recipe I found that I think is amazing and want you to enjoy it too. Perhaps I'll find something that is funny or neat and would like to pass it on. Regardless, this is a place to slow down, take a breath and smile for a moment in a day. I hope you will feel the same way too.

So Coffee In a Plastic Cup is a reflection that while we're still on the go, we don't have to rush quite as fast. I also wanted to avoid copyright infringement. ;)

Happy Day!
