Bacon, Egg, and Cheese Couscous

That's right! It's couscous for breakfast!

While deciding what we should have for breakfast, my girlfriend asked if we could have couscous for breakfast, jokingly of course. But my gears started turning, and I thought- Hey! That's a great idea. Couscous is so plain by itself, that you can really add any kind of flavor to it.

Here's What You Need
6-8 Slices of Bacon
4 Eggs
1 Tbsp. Tobasco
1/2 Tbsp. Cayenne Pepper (Optional)
4-5 Slices of Deli-Cut Cheese
1 1/2 Cups of Water
1 Cup of Quick-Cooking Couscous


To Put it All Together
Slice the bacon as finely as you wish- I personally prefer Kunzler brand bacon. Throw it in a 10" skillet. In the meantime, crack your eggs into a cup/measuring cup, beat them with a fork, and add the Tobasco. When your bacon is just about cooked, pour in the egg mixture and scramble. Add the Cayenne pepper (if using) and cook the eggs until done. Add the water before the eggs have a chance to burn, and bring to a boil. Stir in the couscous, cover and simmer for about 2 minutes. Remove from heat, fluff with a fork, and serve with toast and juice.

This really turned out great, and kind of reminds me of grits. Just goes to show you- if you have an idea- try it! It may just be worth it.
