Golden Snitches

I love two things in this world; Harry Potter and Martha Stewart. Needless to say it made me incredibly happy to run across this recipe from Martha and they just happen to look like the Golden Snitch that's used in Harry's Quidditch matches - hence the new name, sorry Martha.

 
Calories: 238  |  Protein: 12  |  Carbs: 18    |  Fat: 14
Serves: 6  |  Serving size: 1 Snitch


You'll need:

3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 8 whole-wheat sandwich bread
  • 6 slices turkey bacon
  • 6 large eggs
  • Coarse salt and ground pepper
  •  
     
    Then you'll:
     
    1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly butter 6 standard muffin cups. With a rolling pin, flatten bread slices slightly and, with a 4 1/4-inch cookie cutter, cut into 8 rounds. Cut each round in half, then press 2 halves into each muffin cup, overlapping slightly and making sure bread comes up to edge of cup. Use extra bread to patch any gaps. Brush bread with remaining butter (I still had some left over and that's ok if you do too)

     
    2. In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium, until almost crisp, 4 minutes, flipping once. (It will continue to cook in the oven.) Lay 1 bacon slice in each bread cup and crack an egg over each. Season with salt and pepper. Bake until egg whites are just set, 20 to 25 minutes (I would start checking after 18). Run a small knife around cups to loosen toasts. Serve immediately.
     
     
    Happy Cooking!

    Spinach Salad with Ham and Egg

    I cannot tell you how much I love this salad. The flavors blend perfectly and I'm always sad when my bowl is empty. It's great year round, summer or winter.

    2 cups fresh spinach, trimmed and cut into bite-size pieces
    2 oz ham, 1/4 in thick and cut into small strips
