So one of the perks (or downsides depending on how you look at it...) of being in different "Moms" groups is the breakfast buffet you get to enjoy at every meeting. However, if you are anything like me and like to avoid early morning cooking disasters committing to bringing the hot entree can seem a very daunting task. So much so for myself that I've evolved into the donut mom or I'll bring the juice! mom. So here comes Pioneer Woman. If you still aren't sure who this lady is, check out her website she's my Little House on the Prairie meets Martha Stewart meets Rachael Ray. Translation: home cooking the men folk like with class but cheap and fast. I know, first the mac and cheese then the sweet and spicy pork. Now here comes Make-Ahead Muffin Melts!
The greatest thing about this breakfast meal is you can prepare it the night before, pop it in the oven the next morning and you're good to go! The meal practically makes itself and guarantees no morning cooking breakdowns, however it doesn't help with dressing the kids and getting them out the door, darn.
You boil the eggs and mix the rations the night before.
Then spoon the mixture on to your favorite english muffin the next morning and pop it into the oven to broil.
A few minutes later you have deliciously cheesy-bacony-egg muffin melts. Kid tested, Mother approved and husband satisfied. Totally recommend this for anyone who is needing an entree idea for that next meeting.
Best part about it you can make it the day before while the kids are down for their naps.
That is if they let you...
Ingredients
- 12 whole Hard-boiled Eggs, Peeled And Chopped
- 2 cups Grated Cheddar Cheese (I used 1 cup cheddar and 1 cup shredded nacho mix cheese. Did you know they make this? It's the best cheese out there!)
- 1 cup (Real) Mayonnaise
- 12 slices Bacon, Fried And Crumbled
- 1 Tablespoon (heaping) Dijon Mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 3 dashes Worcestershire Sauce
- 6 whole English Muffins Split
Preparation Instructions
Combine eggs with all other ingredients. Fold together gently. Cover and store in the fridge overnight.
Spread on English muffin halves, then broil for 3 to 5 minutes or until hot and bubbly. (Don't set them too close to the heating element.)
Serve immediately!
Thanks to my friend Brittany for suggesting Ree Drummond's blog (no, Pioneer Woman is not her real name.) Although I shouldn't be thanking her too much since I'm trying to lose some of this baby weight! ;)
