Bacon And Egg Braid Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F.
• In 10-inch nonstick skillet, cook bacon until crisp. Remove bacon from skillet to paper towel. Reserve 1 tablespoon bacon drippings in pan.
• In medium bowl, beat eggs, salt and pepper. Add eggs to skillet; cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until eggs are set but moist. Remove from heat. Stir in 3 tablespoons of the green onions and the bell pepper until well mixed. Set aside.
• Place Bisquick™ mix in large bowl. Using pastry blender or fork, cut in cream cheese and butter until crumbly. Stir in milk until dough forms. Place dough on work surface sprinkled with Bisquick™ mix; roll to coat. Knead 8 to 10 times.
• Using rolling pin, roll dough into 12x10-inch rectangle. Carefully transfer to large ungreased cookie sheet. Spoon egg mixture in 4-inch strip down center of dough. Top with 1/2 cup of the bacon and 1 cup of the cheese. With sharp knife, make cuts 1 inch apart on long sides of dough rectangle to within 1/4 inch of filling. Fold strips over filling to within 1/2 inch of center, overlapping strips.
• Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown. Sprinkle with remaining bacon and 1 cup cheese. Bake 2 to 3 minutes longer or until cheese is melted. Sprinkle with remaining 1 tablespoon green onions. Cool 5 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Take the eggs out of the refrigerator. Place a rack in the center of the oven, and heat the oven to 450 degrees.
• Arrange the bacon on a rimmed baking sheet in a single layer, spacing evenly. Roast in the center of the oven until the fat renders and the bacon curls, about 8 minutes. Very thin slices will cook more quickly; thick-cut ones will take longer.
• Take the pan out of the oven and quickly flip the bacon and move to one side of the pan. Crack the eggs onto the other side, then immediately return the pan to the oven and roast until the whites are just set, the yolks are still runny and the bacon is brown and crisp, 2 to 5 minutes longer. If you prefer medium or hard egg yolks or extra-crisp bacon, cook a few minutes more, but take out the bacon before it burns.
• Using a spatula, cut the eggs apart. Slide them off the pan and onto plates right away to stop the yolks from solidifying. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Drain the bacon on paper towels, then add to the plate along with toast. Serve immediately.
