Bacon And Egg Dip Recipes

BACON AND EGG STIR-FRY

Steps:

• Make the candied bacon: Cook the bacon in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until crisp, about 10 minutes; remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Pour the drippings into a small bowl and set aside; wipe out the skillet.
• Cook the sugar with 1 teaspoon water in a small saucepan over medium heat, swirling the pan occasionally, until dark amber, about 5 minutes. Stir in the vinegar and star anise; simmer 1 more minute. Stir in the bacon until coated, then spread out in a single layer on a baking sheet to cool; discard the star anise.
• Make the stir-fry: Whisk the eggs with the wine and a pinch each of salt and pepper in a large bowl until frothy. Heat 2 tablespoons of the reserved bacon drippings in the skillet over medium-high heat, swirling to coat. Add the scallions and cook, stirring, until just tender, about 15 seconds.
• Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and tilt to spread evenly. Cook until the edges just start setting, then stir rapidly with a rubber spatula until the eggs are almost set, about 1 more minute. Transfer to a plate and wipe out the skillet.
• Add 1 more tablespoon of the reserved bacon drippings to the skillet, swirling to coat. Add the tomatoes, sprinkle with the sugar and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes start breaking down, about 2 minutes. Add the cornstarch and cook, stirring, until the liquid thickens, 1 minute.
• Fold the scrambled eggs into the tomato mixture. Sprinkle with the candied bacon and more scallions; serve over rice.

BACON AND EGG SPAGHETTI

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook as the label directs. Drain, reserving 1 cup of the cooking water.
• Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a separate large pot over medium-high heat. Add the bacon and cook until crisp, 7 to 9 minutes.
• Add the pasta, 1/2 cup reserved cooking water and the parmesan to the pot with the bacon. Cook, stirring and adding more cooking water as needed, until coated; season with salt and pepper.
• Meanwhile, heat the remaining 2 teaspoons olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the eggs and cook until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny, about 4 minutes; season with salt and pepper. Top the pasta with the eggs and chives.

CHEESY BACON AND EGG BRUNCH CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Cook bacon in large skillet until crisp. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the drippings. Drain bacon on paper towels; crumble and set aside. Add onion to drippings in skillet; cook and stir 3 minutes or until softened.
• Spread 1/2 of the bread cubes in 13x9-inch baking dish. Layer with 1/2 each of the onion, bacon, Cheddar cheese and mozzarella cheese. Spread evenly with cottage cheese. Top with remaining bread cubes, onion, bacon, Cheddar cheese and mozzarella cheese.
• Beat eggs in medium bowl until foamy. Add milk, mustard, nutmeg and pepper; beat until well blended. Pour evenly over top. Press bread cubes lightly into egg mixture until completely covered. Let stand 10 minutes.
• Bake 40 to 50 minutes or until center is set and top is golden brown.

DEVILED EGG DIP

Steps:

• Place the eggs into a saucepan in a single layer and fill with water to cover the eggs by 1 inch. Cover the saucepan and bring the water to a boil over high heat. Remove from the heat and let the eggs stand in the hot water for 15 minutes. Drain. Cool the eggs under cold running water. Peel and chop the cooled eggs.
• Cook the bacon in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate; crumble once cool.
• Combine the eggs, bacon, mayonnaise, mozzarella cheese, paprika, sugar, white wine vinegar, and mustard in a bowl to make a chunky dip. Garnish with paprika.

CRISPY OVEN BACON AND EGGS

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.
