BREAKFAST CUPCAKES

This past Saturday I decided to be creative and make these very delicious breakfast cupcakes.
Now cupcakes may not seem exactly like an ideal breakfast food but don't knock it till you try it, its the perfect combination of all your favourite breakfast foods.

Ingredients
  • 3 slices of Bacon
  • 6 Slices of Ham
  • 2 Potatoes
  • 6 Eggs
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste

 How to prepare:
-Peel and slice potatoes in to medallions place in a pot of water and boil until potatoes are soft.

-Slice bacon into bits and fry as preferred (I do not like my bacon too crispy so I did not fry for too long).

-Grease a cupcake tray properly, this is a necessary step because these cupcakes tend to stick a little.

-Place one piece of ham into the bottom of the cupcake tray, add boiled potatoes and cooked bacon bits.

-Crack one egg into each cup (to prevent shells from breaking into eggs I break into a separate bowl and poured into cupcake tray). You can also scramble eggs before pouring into cups.


-Season with salt and pepper as desired and place in a pre-heated oven at 190 degrees for 14 to 18 minutes. If you prefer your egg whites a little runny serve at this point, I like mine cooked through so I baked for 20 minutes after baking I covered my cupcakes with foil paper and left for five minutes before serving.

I served these delicious cupcakes with a couple of grilled sausages and chicken dippers.

BUZY BEE

Hello fellow foodies,
I know I know, been missing in action for a little while, well much longer than that. I have been busy with graduation, travelling amongst other things. I am finally settled down with more time to spend doing what I love (cooking) and writing about it. Truthfully though I have not felt much inspiration to cook  lately, apart from the occasional meal here and there. But finally a couple of days ago I was at my local Asian food store doing the usual grocery shopping when I happened to look at the freezer section and I see this! 



                                                           SPRING ROLL WRAPPERS

I bought a pack of these wrappers but had them sitting in my freezer for almost a week until I finally how exactly I would like to use them. So I made use of these wrappers in three different ways, I made Nigerian spring rolls, Nigerian samosa and for desert chocolate banana rolls. Yes that's right a triple threat, hope you like them and enjoy as much as I did.
