Muscle Cups

I have been meaning to cook turkey meatballs, but by the time I was ready to use the meat, it went bad :( There goes $10 of meat that I could have consumed sooner! I had processed a mix to hand mix in the meat, but since I didn't get to use the ground turkey, I ended up making these instead...

 

Ingredients (my recipe is up in the air since I just cooked without any guidelines):

• 6 strips of bacon pan fried, cooked enough but not crunchy
• 5-6 eggs
• 6-7 whole champignon mushrooms
• 4-5 garlic cloves
• 1 whole medium white onion
• 3/4 bag of the Fresh Express baby spinach
• salt and pepper
• 1 tablespoon of ghee (or even the bacon grease)

Prep:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees
• In a food processor, toss in 5-6 of your mushrooms, garlic cloves, onions and baby spinach and process until it looks like a possible paste (but not, lol)
• In another bowl, beat your eggs until consistency is smooth
• Add the green mix with the egg mix and mix, mix, mix! Add salt and pepper to taste
• Next time, I want to add oregano, basil and rosemary
• Grease the muffin pan compartments with ghee or bacon grease and strategically line it with the bacon strips. Yes. Strategically.
• Using a ladel, fill compartments leaving 1/8 of an inch to allow it to rise
• Slice your remaining whole mushrooms and place in the center on top of the mix, and lightly press down to secure it
• Bake for 8-10 minutes or so (depending on how you like your eggs)
• Eat dat.

 

 

You will have some mixture left over if you decide not to make so many of these yummy Muscle Cups. I didn't have time this weekend to make more, so I used the remainder for breakfast today!

 

 

I just scrambled it. I forgot I added salt, so when I cooked it this morning, I added even more salt = FAIL

 

Next time, for this breakfast creation, I think I will add 1/2 cup or 3/4 cups of almond flour to make a veggie type pancake. Maybe add a tablespoon or so in the original mix so the cups won't be so moist.

 

Trial and Error, man.
