Egg Bacon Brioche Soldiers Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F).
• Cut the crusts off the bread.
• Slice the bacon in half lengthways, and wrap a piece around each crust. Place them on a baking tray.
• Brush cupcake tin with melted butter. Press the bread into the muffin tin, then brush more butter onto the bread.
• Bake the bacon soldiers for 10 minutes til they are about halfway cooked and starting to render their fat.
• At the same time, bake bread cups for 10 minutes or until the bread is turning golden brown.
• Flip the bacon. Crack an egg into each bread cup. Season with salt and pepper.
• Bake the bacon soldiers for another 10-12 minutes until the bacon is crispy. At the same time, bake the eggs for another 10-12 minutes until they are just cooked.
• Dip and Enjoy!

Steps:

• Grease a 9x13-inch pan. Layer brioche cubes evenly in the prepared pan.
• Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it is cooked through, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat, including any rendered bacon fat, and allow to cool slightly, about 5 minutes.
• Heat a small amount of bacon fat in the same skillet over medium-high heat. Saute onion and bell pepper until soft, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Meanwhile, beat eggs in a large bowl. Mix milk, Cheddar cheese, mustard powder, pepper, and salt into the beaten eggs. Mix in bacon and onion-bell pepper mixture when done. Carefully pour the egg mixture over the brioche bread cubes and give it a gentle stir so everything is evenly distributed. Gently press the cubes into the egg mixture as needed, so all the bread cubes are sitting in the liquid. Cover and refrigerate for 8 hours, to overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Bake in the preheated oven on the middle rack until set, the top is browned, and a toothpick inserted into the center of the casserole comes out clean, 45 to 55 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving, 5 to 10 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 220 degrees F.
• In a small bowl, add the cayenne, garlic powder, dark brown sugar, black pepper and curry powder and stir to blend. Spread the spice mix on a baking sheet and put it in the oven for 2 minutes. Meanwhile, separate the bacon slices. Remove the pan from the oven and put the bacon slices, in a single layer, on the spice mix. Turn them over to lightly coat both sides of each slice with the spice mix.
• Arrange the bacon in 2 large skillets and cook over medium heat until golden brown. Note: because of the brown sugar, the bacon is more prone to burning, especially if cooked too quickly over high heat. As the bacon is cooked, use a slotted spoon or spatula to transfer the strips to a paper towel to drain. Drain off any excess grease from the skillets but leave a small layer in each pan.
• Raise the temperature of the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Arrange the bread on a baking sheet and put it in the center of the oven. When the bread is toasted, remove from the oven and set aside.
• Return the skillets to the stove over medium-low heat and crack 2 eggs into each skillet. Do not overcrowd. Season them lightly with salt. Cook until desired doneness. Transfer the eggs to a platter and arrange the bacon and the toast around the eggs. Serve immediately.
