Croissant Pizza Cups

Apparently I was in the mood for muffin pan foods today. I actually kind of made these up myself, keeping in mind other recipes I have made. Only thing I would do differently next time is make some more!

Ingredients

Pillsbury croissant sheets

round cookie cutter

pizza sauce

mozzarella cheese (shredded of sliced)
shredded colby jack cheese

toppings of choice

Directions

Pre-heat oven tto 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Roll out croissant sheets and cut out 12 circles with cookie cutter. You will run out of room on the sheets, so pull scraps together, roll out, and continue cutting. Flatten out circles and press into the bottom and up the sides of an un-greased muffin pan. Add about 1Tbsp on pizza sauce to each cup.

Add whatever kind of cheese you'd like. I didn't have shredded mozzarella, so I tore apart mozzarella slices and put them in the cups.

 

I also added some shredded colby jack cheese. 

 Add any toppings you like. I only had ham on hand, but I usually prefer pepperoni.

Bake in pre-heated oven for 15 minutes. They came out perfectly cooked. Usually, when I make dishes with croissants, the croissants come out very undercooked. These can be eaten with or without a fork. Enjoy!

Texas Baked Biscuits

Original recipe found here.

I made these this morning and they were so delicious. Only a couple things I would've done differently.

Ingredients

1 tube Texas-style refrigerated biscuit dough

8 eggs

1/2 cup real bacon bits

1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese, grated *I used colby jack

diced scallions *I didn't use these

salt & pepper to taste

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly spray a muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray.   Open the tube of biscuits, and press one biscuit round into the muffin tin. I flattened them out a bit first. Press against the bottom and sides of pan.

 Crack an egg into the cup. I use large eggs, and apparently they were too large because the egg whites started dripping out.

 To prevent them from going everywhere, I separated the yolks from the whites and just added the yolks in. You can separate them by cracking the egg in half, and over a bowl, pass the yolk between the shells, and let the whites fall into a bowl.

 

I tried adding some whites in with the yolks later, and that just created a big mess.  

 Use a generous amount of salt and pepper on the eggs. Add in shredded cheese and bacon pieces.

 

Put in oven and back for about 15 minutes. I cooked 15 minutes exactly, but next time I'm going to keep them in longer. My family doesn't like runny yolks, and in most of these, they turned out very runny. Remove from oven, serve, and enjoy!
