CANADIAN BACON, EGG AND CHEESE SLIDERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350˚ F. Lightly coat an 8-inch square baking dish with cooking spray. Whisk the eggs, half-and-half and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Pour into the pan and bake until puffed and set, 16 to 18 minutes. Let cool slightly.
• Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium heat and coat with cooking spray. Add the Canadian bacon and cook, flipping, until browned, about 1 minute per side. Remove to a cutting board and cut each slice into 4 pieces.
• Spread the butter on the cut sides of the rolls. Slice the baked eggs into 12 small pieces and lift out of the pan with a spatula; place one on each roll bottom. Top each with a piece of cheese, 2 pieces Canadian bacon and the roll tops. Thread strawberries and grapes onto skewers and serve with the sliders.

BACON, EGG AND CHEESE BREAD BOXES

Steps:

• Position an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F.
• Remove 1/4 inch of the crust from the ends of the loaf, then cut the loaf crosswise into 4 even pieces. Use a fork to score one cut end and gently dig a square hole into each piece of bread to make a box, leaving a 1/2-inch layer of bread around the walls and bottom (see Cook's Note). Save the removed crumbs for another use.
• Microwave the butter and a large pinch of salt in a small microwave-safe bowl until melted, about 1 minute. Brush the bread boxes inside and out with the melted butter. Put 1 slice of cheese at the bottom of each bread box. Put the boxes open-side up on a baking sheet and bake until the cheese melts and the inside of the bread is lightly browned and crispy in parts, about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the bacon. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the bacon is crispy, 12 to 15 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the bacon onto a paper-towel lined plate. Reserve the bacon fat in the skillet and adjust the heat to low. Whisk the milk and eggs with a large pinch of salt and pepper and add to the skillet. Continue stirring the eggs, scraping the sides of the skillet as needed, until small curds form and the eggs are just set, 6 to 8 minutes.
• Divide the hot eggs between the 4 boxes and top with the remaining cheese. Return to the oven and bake until the cheese is melts, about 5 minutes. Top with the crispy bacon and serve hot with hot sauce and additional salt and pepper.

BACON, EGG AND CHEESE FLATBREADS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Divide the naan between 2 foil-lined baking sheets and bake until crisp, about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, turning occasionally, until crisp, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain on paper towels, then crumble. Remove 1 tablespoon bacon drippings from the skillet and reserve for frying the eggs.
• Add the onion to the remaining drippings in the skillet and increase the heat to medium high. Season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring, until browned and tender, 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes and cook until most of the liquid evaporates, 3 to 5 minutes. Season with salt, pepper and hot sauce.
• Spread the onion-tomato mixture on the naan and top each with 2 slices cheese. Return to the oven until the cheese melts, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat the reserved bacon drippings in the empty skillet over medium-high heat and crack in the eggs. Season with salt and pepper and cook until the whites are just cooked through, about 3 minutes.
• Top each flatbread with a fried egg; sprinkle with the bacon. Toss the greens with the vinegar; season with salt and pepper. Serve the flatbreads with the salad and more hot sauce.

BACON AND EGGS IN A BREAD BOWL - PANERA BREAD

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350ºF. Line a baking sheet with foil.
• 2. Cook the chopped bacon in a large skillet until crisp, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove to paper towels to drain. Pour off all but 1 teaspoon of the fat.
• 3. Add the onion and cook until soft and golden, 4 to 6 minutes. Add the spinach, cover, and cook until wilted, 2 to 3 minutes, stirring spinach from bottom to top once or twice. Drain off any excess water and transfer the mixture to a mixing bowl.
• 4. Add beaten eggs, bacon, ricotta, 3 tablespoons of Parmesan, oregano, salt, pepper, and cayenne to the bowl. Stir gently until combined.
• 5. Cut out the tops of both Panera Bread Sourdough Bread Bowls as if making jack-o'-lanterns out of pumpkins. Remove bread from inside, leaving about a 1/2-inch shell of crust. Save or freeze the bread, including the top crust, for another use, such as bread crumbs or croutons. Place bread bowls on prepared baking sheet.
• 6. Scrape filling into bread bowls and sprinkle with remaining 3 tablespoons of Parmesan.
• 7. Bake, without the top crust of bread, until filling is set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 45 to 55 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes before serving. Using a serrated knife, cut each bowl into 3 wedges, like a peace sign.

• TIP: The pork bacon can be easily swapped with turkey bacon. Or for a vegetarian dish, skip the bacon and heat 1 teaspoon of oil in the skillet for sautéing the onion.
