Breakfast cupcakes

Cupcakes... for breakfast?  Now I am the type to have something sweet in the morning, but these are savory cupcakes, made with biscuits, bacon and eggs.  Mmmm!

ingredients: 
     (amount will depend on how many cupcakes you want to make.  I made three cupcakes, so my amounts are based on that.) 

• bacon (three slices)
• pilsbury grands jr biscuits (homestyle / buttermilk)
• eggs (2 or 3) 
• salt, pepper, and shredded cheese, if desired

directions: 

1. preheat oven to 375.
2. cook the bacon.  just a little (so it's not raw)... it will cook more in the oven later.
3. use the bacon grease to coat your muffin/cupcake pan.  only coat how many spots you're using.
4. press the biscuit dough into the pan.  if you have a jumbo muffin tin, awesome!  I don't, so I used my cupcake pan.  make sure you press it up the sides as well.  especially if you're using a cupcake pan, make the dough thin.  
5. add a piece or two of bacon to each dough pot.
6. add an egg to each pot.  if you're using a cupcake pan, one regular large egg may be too much and will overflow.  instead, you can put two eggs in a bowl, quickly whip with a fork, and then divide between sections.  
7. bake for 15-20 minutes.  if you like your eggs runny, awesome.  I don't, so I turned up the heat to broil for the last two minutes to nuke the eggs... just don't forget that your food is set to broil.  (oops.) 
8. take your pan out of the oven, and use a spatula to slide each cupcake out.  
9. enjoy!
