Categories     main-dish

Time 1h5m

Yield 24 cupcakes

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup cake flour
2 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
3/4 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon vanilla
2 eggs
1 cup beer
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
1 cup shredded sharp Cheddar
2 cups light brown sugar
1 cup chopped cooked bacon (no bacon bits)
6 egg yolks
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon vinegar
1 teaspoon hot sauce, such as Tabasco
1 cup clarified butter
1/3 cup chopped fresh parsley
Kosher salt and freshly cracked pepper
2 dozen fried eggs, for topping the cupcakes

Steps:

  • For the cupcakes: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line two 12-count muffin tins with paper cupcake liners.
  • Combine the all-purpose flour, cake flour and baking soda in bowl; set aside. In a separate bowl, mix the sour cream, vanilla and eggs; set aside.
  • Heat the beer and butter in a saucepan over medium-high heat until the butter is just melted. Stir in the cheese, remove from the heat and whisk in the brown sugar. Slowly add the beer mixture to the egg mixture, stirring. Fold/gently stir in the dry mixture, then fold in the bacon.
  • Fill the muffin cups three-quarters full with the batter. Bake until an inserted toothpick comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Let the cupcakes cool on a wire rack.
  • For the hollandaise sauce: In the container of a blender, combine the egg yolks, lemon juice, Worcestershire, vinegar and hot sauce. Cover and blend for about 5 seconds.
  • Put the clarified butter in a glass measuring cup. Heat in the microwave until completely melted and hot, about 1 minute. Set the blender on high speed and pour the butter into the egg yolk mixture in a thin stream; it should thicken almost immediately. Fold in the chopped parsley once the sauce has thickened. Season with salt and pepper. Keep the sauce warm until serving by placing the blender container in a pan of hot tap water.
  • Top each cupcake with a fried egg and add some hollandaise. Serve warm.

BACONY BREAKFAST CUPCAKE

Time 42m

Yield 12 cupcakes

Number Of Ingredients 7

Canola oil spray
6 thick-cut slices good quality bacon
3 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
4 cups prepared pancake batter
8 ounces mascarpone
1 cup confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons maple syrup

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Prepare a cupcake pan with canola oil spray.
  • Prepare a broiler pan and place the bacon on the pan. Cook until well crisped, about 6 minutes. Remove from the oven and reserve 1 tablespoon bacon drippings.
  • Reduce the heat to 350 degrees F. Mix the chives into the pancake batter and pour into the cupcake tins so that they are 3/4 full. Bake for 12 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, add the mascarpone, confectioners' sugar, maple syrup and the reserved bacon drippings. Stir well to combine and set aside. Crumble the cooked bacon and set aside.
  • Remove the cupcakes from the oven and let cool on a cooling rack, about 10 minutes. Frost each cupcake with the bacon icing and sprinkle with the crumbled bacon.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the taste of your cupcakes.
  • Be precise with your measurements. Baking is a science, and precise measurements are essential for success. This is especially important for recipes that contain baking powder or baking soda, as too much or too little can ruin the cupcakes.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cupcakes tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cupcakes at the correct temperature and for the correct amount of time. Underbaked cupcakes will be gooey, while overbaked cupcakes will be dry. A toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake should come out clean when it's done.
  • Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting to adhere better to the cupcakes.
  • Be creative with your toppings. You can top your cupcakes with anything from simple sprinkles to elaborate piped designs. Get creative and have fun!

Conclusion:

Breakfast cupcakes are a delicious and versatile treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They're perfect for a quick and easy breakfast, a special occasion, or a fun snack. With so many different recipes to choose from, there's sure to be a breakfast cupcake that everyone will love.
