Bacon, Egg, and Cheese Bites

I absolutely have to have breakfast in the mornings. I've exhausted my SmartOnes Breakfast Quesadillas plus they're expensive plus they don't hold me for very long, oatmeal is a good go-to but I have to be in the mood for it, and I have a great almond and banana smoothie that  lasts me until lunch so I don't have to snack around but sometimes I just need something to chew on. I wanted something QUICK and EASY (notice a theme with the recipes I post?) and not super expensive, so I threw some things together aaaaaand....yum!

Alexa has an aversion to anything with "green stuff!" in it (parsley, in this case), but I convinced her to try these and she LOVES them.

***This recipe is for a single serving, which is six "bites". Feel free to double, triple, etc. and store left-overs in the fridge for a quick-grab breakfast on those days you hit the snooze button too many times! Reheat 30-40 seconds in the microwave.***

Bacon, Egg, and Cheese Bites

Ingredients

2 eggs

1 Tbsp real bacon pieces (at our Wal-Mart, they have bags of these in the salad dressing/crouton aisle)

1 Tbsp grated parmesan cheese

2 Tbsp skim milk

1 tsp garlic salt

2 tsp dried parsley

Directions
(1) Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees F.

(2) Pour all ingredients into a regular soup/cereal bowl and whisk or beat with a fork until well blended.

(3) Scoop mixture into mini-muffin pan, until about 1/2 to 3/4 full. (I use the smallest Pampered Chef cookie scoop, but I'm sure a regular spoon would work just fine. MAKE SURE to scoop down into the bottom of your bowl because the bacon and cheese will settle to the bottom!!!)

(4) Bake for 12-15 minutes.

Before baking.

 These will puff up in the oven.

 This was taken as soon as I took them out of the oven...you can see they already started to deflate.

On a side note: I started Weight Watchers, so I'm going to start posting Points Plus values, just in case anyone else is doing the same. :-)

****Points Plus Value: 5****

****Any variations to this recipe could change the points value!!****

Other variations:

**A. I quadrupled this recipe so I could pull them out of the fridge and reheat as needed, but I also added spinach and mushrooms to sneak some veggies into my system. I used my Pampered Chef manual food processor to dice the spinach and mushrooms SEPARATELY so they would be fine enough to beat into the egg mixture. They were awesome! Play around with it....maybe crumbled sausage or finely diced ham instead of the bacon....crumbles of feta....finely diced onions and green or red bell peppers....be creative! (Just make sure everything is FINELY diced/crumbled since these are minis!)
