This will be my first recap of something I made from pinterest. You can browse through the rest of the things I have completed in my "Made it!" board.
I saw these bacon wrapped omelets and thought, "This looks simple and delicious." So I set out to make it.
Basic recipe:
Put bacon strips in muffin tin and then add whipped eggs with a little cheese about 3/4 full.
Bake at 350 degrees for 30-35 min.
Mine (right) don't look too much different than those from the pinterest recipe (below).
Here are my thoughts:
- There was a lot of prep work and dishes
- crack the eggs and whip in a bowl
- cut the bacon on cutting board (see below)
- shred the cheese
- It was very salty
- 1/2 slice of bacon wasn't enough to wrap around all the way so I had to use the whole slice
- only about 1/2 an egg fits once the bacon was in the pan
- 1/2 egg to 1 slice of bacon; not the ideal diet
- The bacon wasn't crispy
- if you like crispy bacon, this won't be your favorite thing.
- I ended up removing the "omelet" from the pan, flipping it over (more dishes), and broiling it to get the bacon to be somewhat crispy.
- They are hard to eat
- not bite size
- not finger food
- since the bacon wasn't crispy, you need a sharp knife to cut them (more dishes)
If I were to make this again, what would I do differently?
- Try 3/4 of a strip of bacon (less bacon will leave room for more egg)
- Add onion or tomato to the egg
- Partially precook the bacon
Don't get me wrong, these were excellent but I am always looking to improve things. I think with a little tweaking, these could become a hit and a regular occurance.
