Watch out McDonald's there's a chicken in the house!! So the other day I smoked the Smokin Hot Spatchy
so that I would have some smokin hot pulled chicken for recipe number
two. I have been looking for something a bit different to serve to
holiday guests. Tired of the typical quiche, breakfast casserole, etc...
So i was looking for a recipe that my mom used to make and stumbled
upon a variation of what she did. These are super simple and if you have
guests that don't like the HEAT
you can make a batch or two that are savory . In fact the protein can
be changed out. Any pre-cooked protein will do. My mom would make these
with diced ham, crumbled bacon and breakfast sausage. She never did
spicy ones, except to use spicy sausage. One of my favorites growing up
was like a Denver omelet, bell peppers onion, diced ham. I think that a
savory version loaded with sage, thyme, would be great too. For those
adverse to eating the yolk, egg whites can be used solely. There are
many variations you can come up with. Heck I'd even try pulled pork or
brunt ends!
Here's the base recipe adjust accordingly and omitting the hot sauce is perfectly fine. This Recipe makes 1/2 dozen muffins (plan on 1 egg per muffin)
Pre-heat oven to 425°
6 eggs
1 pound pre-cooked buffalo chicken (http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/t/154228/smokin-hot-spatchy ) or crumbled bacon, finely diced ham, crumbled breakfast sausage)
2 green onions or shallots diced
1 Jalapeno finely diced
i clove garlic finely diced
Salt and pepper to taste
Chipotle pepper as garnish on top
Several table spoons of hot sauce
Note you will need parchment paper cupcake liners (greasing the pan wont do. I did not have them so I made my own out of the parchment paper sheet liners I have. For a standard size muffin tin 6" squares work the best. Find a cup that fits in the tin and wrap the square around it smooth out the sides. Stick in tin.
Whisk eggs, onion, jalapeno, 2 tablespoons hot sauce, salt and pepper together in a bowl.
Spoon into lined muffin tin. Only fill tins half full. Carefully place chicken on top of egg mixture (it will sink some). Spoon rest of egg mixture on top. I like to add a few small pieces of meat again, a couple more dashes of hot sauce and a dusting of chipotle. Bake for 25-30 minutes in a 425° oven, or smoker, or dutch oven (more on that later).
Half full totally full Garnished and ready for the oven
