145 Calories, 8.1g Fat, 9.2g Carb, 8.2g Protein.

Ingredients:
6 slices of bread
6 slices of bacon (can substitute turkey bacon for healthier option)
1 bag of shredded (cheddar) cheese
Non-stick spray

What You’ll Need:
1 cupcake pan (yeah yeah, we can make a cupcake pan manly)
1 large pan

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
2. Real men don’t use cookie cutters, so use a glass to punch circles out of the bread slices.
3. Heat the pan on on high for about a minute. Add the 6 slices of bacon (or add 3 at a time if pan isn’t big enough). Cook for about 3 minutes, leaving it cooked, but pliable. Take off of heat and let the bacon cool for a minute.
4. Spray nonstick spray into the cupcake craters in the pan (only spray 6).
5. Press the bread into the cupcake pan.
6. Add bacon around the edges of the cupcake pan.
7. Add 1 pinch of cheese (about 1 tablespoon) into each “bowl”.
8. Place into the oven for about 5 minutes to melt the cheese. Take it out and set it next to where you’ll separate the egg yolks.
9. Separate the egg yolks from the whites (see photo above). Add yolks to the bacon/bread/cheese bowls.
10. Place back into the oven for 8 minutes (yolks will be soft – if harder yolks are preferred, add a minute, 2 max).
11. Take them out and EAT!

Trust me.

Enjoy, dudes!

Well THANK GOD for the innovators over at Slice! They served up a delicious way to step up your Lunchables game on the road and eat less like a 6 year old and more like a 16 year old…what The Bachelor Chefs is really all about.

They tried out an iron, a blow dryer, and a heater – yielding some pretty interesting (hilarious) results. Which is best? Slice says it’s a combo, minus the heater (nobody wants to eat in a sauna). Here’s how you do it:

I sincerely hope this helps a few dudes feel better about filling their shopping carts with Lunchables while on a business trip…[via Slice]

Enjoy, dudes!

So, I had fresh tortillas, NOW what? I did what any self-respecting man would have done: made a quesadilla. HELL yeah.

Here’s THE way to make homemade flour tortillas. It’s really a conglomeration of a few different notes and recipes that I found. It’s fairly messy, but worth it!

NOTE: Makes 12 tortillas: 114 Calories, 2g Fat, 19g Carb, 3g Protein.

Cook Time:
30 min

Ingredients:
2 1/4 cup flour (all purpose white or whole wheat)
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
2 tsp vegetable oil (or olive oil)
1 cup hot milk (use skim, if you have it, but it will all work)

What You’ll Need:
1 skillet
1 place to roll tortillas out
Rolling pin (or other cylindrical object – I used a can of Pam, seriously)

Reference Photos:

Directions:

1. Combine all the dry ingredients.
2. Put the 3/4 cup milk in the microwave for 1 minute.
3. Add 2 tsp oil to the dry ingredients.
4. Slowly add the warm milk while you stir. Continue adding to the dough mixture ’till the dough comes away from the bowl and forms 1 ball. You may not use all of it, possibly closer to 3/4 cup.
5. Spread a thin layer of flour over a surface (I used a cutting board) to roll the tortillas out on.
6. Take out the dough and put it onto the floured surface. Fold it in half and press into it a few times (also known as “kneading“).
7. Pull off some dough and roll it into a ball. Make 12 small balls of dough.
8. Roll out the tortila (about 6″ in diameter).
9. Heat the skillet. Put the tortilla on for about 30 seconds a side.
10. While one cooks, roll out the next one, and so on. Remember to flip the tortilla on the skillet after 30 seconds. By the time the one on the skillet is done, you should be done rolling out the next one.
11. TIP: each time you finish rolling out a tortilla, add some more flour to the board before you start the next tortilla.
12. Place on a paper towel as they finish, stack them to keep warm. DONE!

So warm, so fluffy, so awesome. Enjoy, dudes!
