Breakfast Biscuit Cups with Green Chili Salsa
Ingredients
4 slices packaged precooked bacon (from 2.1-ounce package)
2 Pillsbury Extra Large Easy Split Oven Baked frozen biscuits (from 31.8-ounce bag), or 2 Pillsbury Oven Baked frozen Southern style biscuits (from 25-ounce bag)
1 4.5-ounce can chopped green chilies
1/2 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese (2 ounces)
2 eggs
Salt and pepper, if desired
1 small tomato, finely chopped ( 1/2 cup)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon chopped red onion
1 tablespoon lime juice
Sliced cantaloupe, if desired
Heat oven to 375 degrees. Spray two (10-ounce) custard cups or souffle dishes with cooking spray. If necessary, heat bacon in microwave on high 15 seconds or until warm and pliable. Line inner side of each custard cup (not bottom) with two bacon slices, overlapping as necessary.
Gently place frozen biscuit in each cup to fit inside bacon collar. Spoon a heaping tablespoon of green chilies onto each biscuit; place remaining green chilies in small bowl and set aside. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons cheese over chilies on each biscuit. Carefully crack 1 egg over cheese on each. Sprinkle each with 2 tablespoons remaining cheese to cover egg; sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Place custard cups on cookie sheet; bake 25 to 35 minutes or until biscuits are baked and egg whites are set. Cool in cups 5 minutes. Meanwhile, add tomato, cilantro, onion and lime juice to green chilies in bowl; mix well. Season with salt to taste.
Carefully remove bacon-wrapped biscuits from custard cups; place on individual plates. Spoon green chili salsa over top and around sides. Serve with cantaloupe. Serves 2.
Directions
For Utah's altitude: Heat oven to 400 degrees. After cracking the egg over the biscuit and cheese, sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake 30 minutes and then sprinkle remaining cheese over eggs. Bake about 2 minutes longer or until cheese is melted.
