Hands-on time for these Halloween breakfast treats is minimal (10 minutes or less), and the kids will love to help put them together. Packaged crisp, crumbled bacon is available on the salad aisle of most grocery stores, so if there isn’t time to chop a slice of ham (2 minutes max), use bacon; both taste equally good. Don’t try to overstuff the custard cups, the amounts are ample, and overstuffing causes the eyeballs to slide and leak out the sides; unless the Igor you know has a lazy eye, they won’t look as real. Ketchup, which has been placed in a plastic bag with a tiny hole cut in the corner, makes the eyes look bloodshot.
8 Servings
1 16 oz. can jumbo refrigerator biscuits (such as Grands)
1/2 cup lean ham, diced, or crisp, crumbled bacon
1/2 cup medium salsa
1/2 cup grated cheddar jack cheese
8 eggs
Ketchup
- Preheat oven to 350°. Spray 8 ramekins or custard cups with non-stick spray.
- Press a biscuit over the bottom and up the sides of each ramekin.
- Place a tablespoon of ham or bacon in the bottom of each, pour a tablespoon of salsa over the ham or bacon, and sprinkle with a tablespoon of cheese.
- Press the cheese down so that it is even (you don't want lopsided eyeballs).
- Carefully break an egg into each cup.
- Place the cups at least an inch apart on a baking sheet.
- Bake 20-25 minutes or until the yolks are almost set.
- Remove from the oven, run a knife around the outside of each eyeball, and unmold onto a plate; or serve in the ramekin.
- Place a tablespoon or two of ketchup in a small plastic bag.
- Cut a tiny hole in the corner with scissors.
- Squeeze ketchup on the white part of the eggs to resemble bloodshot eyes.
- Serve with additional salsa.
