Christmas Breakfast & a Lot of Snow
We actually will have a white Christmas this year on the east coast, we've had a ton of snow this past week.
Here are 2 fantastic recipes for Christmas morning.
They are the two most popular and looked at on Stacey Snacks.
First, I want to say that when I posted the bacon and egg baskets last year, I received SO MANY emails and nice comments.......but I did receive some negative comments and nasty remarks on other sites saying "this is so unhealthy", "cholesterol killer", "artery clogger!!!", "this is disgusting".
Ok, before I post this again, and the hate mail comes in: I just want to say that this is a slice of lean bacon and ONE EGG. Nothing more. No butter, no cheese, nothing.
Live a little.
It's not going to kill you.
Everyone loves this recipe.
It just adds a little style to the usual bacon and eggs, and you can make it for a crowd for brunch.
Bacon & Egg Baskets:
Spray nonstick cooking spray in a 12 cup muffin tin.
Cook as many slices of bacon as needed, but only cook them half way.
Do not cook them crispy, only enough to get rid of some of the fat.
Drain bacon slices on paper towels.
When cool enough to handle, wrap a piece of bacon into a nest shape in each muffin well.
Next, crack a MEDIUM sized egg (don't use JUMBO or they will spill over) into each bacon basket.
Sprinkle with salt and pepper (I used Hawaiian red salt) and bake in a 375F oven for 10 minutes for runny eggs, or 12 minutes for set eggs.
You can also beat the eggs first then pour into the basket for a firmer quiche like presentation.
This second recipe is not a low fat one, but who cares? New Year's resolutions begin next week.
It's a bread pudding made with that fantastic Italian panettone.

Have a Merry Christmas!
Love,
Stacey

You have had a lot of snow. It sure looks pretty when it is falling and fresh.
Happy holidays Stacey to you and your family and I hope you have a great new year.

This post last year is what gave me the idea for my toastcups, which is my most popular post. So thank you Stacy for the insparation. :D
Beautiful snow pictures-- just how I enjoy it. Look at it, but not having to live in it. Brrrr.

Just popping in to wish you a Merry Christmas and a happy holiday!
Happy holidays and happy new year!
Regarding cholesterol, I think that those who are watching it on a doctor's recommendation do not begrudge others whose cholesterol is fine. Those negative comments are odd to me.
Love the B&E baskets and the panettone and especially the snow. It was the first snowball fight I've had in decades.
Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays!
I think it is quite clever. Don't know what the fuss is about, especially since you're cooking off a lot of the bacon fat at the start. However, people don't need much of an excuse to fuss, do they. :)
First of all, nice blog! Thanks a lot for sharing - I am thoroughly enjoying it.
You know what, I do believe that there can be some dumb people out there who might be dumb enough to think their arteries get clogged by just reading a recipe online!
At the end of the day, this is YOUR blog about what YOU ate in YOUR home. What THEY eat in THEIR home is up to THEM. Why don't these people spend their time blogging about what THEY eat instead of coming here and wasting their time whingeing and protesting about what YOU ate? It's pretty obvious to the rest of us what the consequences are. They just don't realise there is such a thing called freedom of choice - they have it, and so should we! They can choose what they eat and so can we :)
Do keep up the good work and ignore those dumb comments! And to the dumb people - I have the freedom to voice my opinion to Stacey too!
