Breakfast Phyllo Cups and Jury Duty, AAGGHH

  Well, in waking up this morning remembering the fact that I had been summoned for jury duty for this Monday, I figured I was not going to have enough time to cook our usual breakfast. Which for us usually consists of eggs over easy on toast with bacon or sausages. So lately I have been seeing alot of phyllo cup recipes on the cooking shows that I watch each week and knowing I had some stashed in the freezer decided to embark on a breakfast version. Am I glad I did. These can be frozen and reheated in the toaster oven for a quick on the go breakfast. Which I am going to need in the morning since I am unaccustomed to being out the door at the crack of dawn lately.

Assemble your ingredients and layer 6 sheets of phyllo dough with a spritz of canola cooking spray in between each layer. The next time I make these I will use the melted butter method instead of the cooking oil spray (I saw Sandra Lee use the cooking oil spray and Giada used the butter method).

Form cups by creating 6 squares from the phyllo dough and push into 6 of the muffin tins. Bake as directed on the package.

In the meantime, while your phyllo is baking, brown some breakfast sausage in a skillet. Set aside.

Fill the baked phyllo cups by layering the sausage and or smokod salmon, green onion and cheese.

Next, add your scambled egg mixture to the cups. Bake at 350 degrees until eggs set and cheese melts.
