I was minding my own business trying to not leave the comfort of our lovely sitting room. I was perusing Pinterest and I have so many foodie friends, that I just couldn't help but get a craving for some nummy treats. Since I hadn't eaten yet today, i decided to follow the trend of mini-egg soufle type recipes on pinterest and make up my own. It was super easy. I didn't follow any recipe, I just went with it.
I found some stuff in the fridge and stirred it all together in a bowl, then put it in a muffin tin and baked in on 350 for about 25 minutes.
Here are the ingredients.
6 Medium Free Range Cage Free Eggs
pico de gayo (prob a half cup)
a splash of milk (prob 1/4 cup)
1/2 a package of turkey bacon pieces (maybe 2/3 cup)
a good dose of cheese (prob a cup)
Penzey's Shallot Pepper (a good sprinkling... 2 tablespoons?)
Italian blend herbs (prob a tablespoon)
It went over well with the fam, everyone ate it. And here are some pictures courtesy of my brother's spectacular camera and featuring the cake dish my mother bought so I could take pretty pictures for the blog:
tThings I would do differently:
- More Cheese. Cheese is like the best invention ever.
- Shorter cooking time: fluffy and a little moist is okay by me.
- Photograph before they cool and fall slightly.
All-in-all, I'm not displeased by my foray into the egg cupcake. Now I'm going to tell you about the awesomeness that is the Strawberry shortcake cupcake.
The Strawberry Shortcake cupcake was born of a perfect blending of ideas from all the women who head up the Sunday Night Beer Tasting Soiree.
At first, I was trying to come up with a good memorial day dessert for our church picnic. I was trying to figure out how best to do those shot glass desserts that are all the rage at casual dining spots.
Robyn: Don't you think I could just do it in cupcake form? Like a strawberry shortcake cup cake, made with an egg white cake, and topped with strawberries and whipped cream?
Sister (part-time genius): Can't you shove a strawberry in it and then cook it?
Robyn: Sound delicious.
Mother (Full time genius): The strawberry will moosh and goo. You should use a Strawberry jam or preserve.
So.... Here you go:
Make an egg white cake mix. Put it in cupcake liners.
Spoon one spoon of all-fruit no additives preserves into the center.
Bake.
Top with a white butter cream (Crisco style not butter based) and shove a fresh delicious strawberry on top.
Watch parishioners enjoy. There were reports of licking fingers and lips clean during eating.
Yeah. No pictures exist :o( but it happened.
And finally!!!!!
Graduation cupcakes....
I made cupcakes. Topped with white icing and threw this bad boy on top:
I might be able to get my sister to upload the pictures.
On a side nite, Nestle After Eight mints are freaking delicious!
Anyway, HAPPY SATURDAY, CUPCAKES!
