Campers Muffins

So i have a recipe that I have eaten my whole life. We always called it Campers Eggs, but the name of the recipe is actually Fabulous Eggs. Don't know who came up with that, but whatever. I am trying something new this week. Connected to this post: http://www.snackinginthekitchen.com/2010/05/mothers-day-2010-brunch.html

So I am going to make my campers eggs in little muffin cups and I think they will be great fun!

So here's the recipe:

12 eggs beaten until Fluffy
1 1/2 tsp dry mustard
1/2 onion chopped fine
1 1/2 cup milk
1 cup grated cheddar cheese
1 cup plain or seasoned croutons
1 lb pork sausage

Crumble and slowly brown sausage. drain fat. Gently but thoroughly mix all ingredients and bake in buttered casserole dish (9x13). Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes. Serves 10-12.

So my changes are I am going to mix everything but the sausage and croutons together than put some sausage and croutons in each of the muffin cups. Then pour over the egg mixture. I will try baking them at 375 for 15-20 minutes as per the link above. I am also going to top them each with some cheese.

I am going to make some tomorrow for a breakfast picnic on Friday to see how they go and then i'll make some on Saturday morning for a Kick-off brunch for a group I am a part of here in OKC. I am kinda excited, I'll let you know how they go!

Bran Muffins

Bran muffins? Oh yes. Not just for Grandma anymore. :) These are SO good, and very good for you! This recipe makes a LOT, but cooked muffins can be frozen and uncooked batter can be kept for up to 6 weeks in an airtight container in the fridge.

Pour 2 cups boiling water over:
4 c Bran Buds cereal*
2 c All Bran cereal (*sometimes I just do 6 c. All Bran instead of adding Bran Buds)
1 c shortening

Using electric mixer, mix well with the hot water.

Add: 1 quart buttermilk
2 c. sugar
5 c. flour (white or wheat)
5 tsp soda
2 tsp salt
4 eggs
1/4 c ground flax seed (optional - reduce flour by 1/4 c.)

Grease muffin tins very well. Fill tins 2/3 full. Bake at 410-425 degrees for 15-20 minutes (adjust depending on whether batter was refrigerated or at room temperature)

Makes 48 muffins
