I like to buy my way into the hearts of people I love by cooking for them (and writing really good cards where my goal is always to make someone cry and remember me always). At my funeral, I would like someone to say, “She could make a mean chicken, bring people together, and write a damned good letter.”
Last year, our staff meetings at work were first thing in the morning. This year, they’re last thing in the day. Last year, I would bring in elaborate breakfasts for my coworkers. We have new employees this year who haven’t had the pleasure of eating some of the lovely things I like to make before work. I do recall one meeting last year where everything I made was shaped like a muffin.
This was one of those items:
I only made six today, instead of the normal twelve because…well, because I only had three eggs.
- 6 slices of bacon, cooked crisp
- 3 eggs
- 1/4 cup half and half
- 1/4 peppers (I used red and yellow organic peppers today that I had previously chopped and were frozen)
- 1/4 cup scallions
- 1/4 cup shredded cheese
Spray the tin with non-stick spray. Break one strip of bacon into three pieces and layer in the tin. Beat the eggs with the remaining ingredients. Add 1/4 cup of the mixture to each tin, or eye it. I did spoons full until it came out even. Bake on 350 for 25 mins., or until set.
And wouldn’t you know it? No one is here this morning at work.
Must. Not. Eat. All.
