Bacon and Egg Toast Cups

18Oct10

I love breakfast food, especially anything with bacon in it. When I saw these adorable toast cups, I HAD to make them. They are not only cute, but super yummy and fairly easy! Enjoy!

Ingredients: (obviously this recipe makes, 4- adjust depending on how many you want!)

4 slices of bacon (I used pre cooked bacon because it’s all we had)
4 slices of bread
1/2 cup shredded cheese (I used cheddar)
4 eggs
Salt and pepper, to taste

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 400° F.
Grease 4 wells of a muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray.
In a frying pan, cook bacon about 3-5 minutes, until partially cooked but not completely crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
Cut out rounds of bread with a round cookie cutter or drinking glass.
Press the bread rounds into the greased muffin wells.
Curl a piece of bacon around each piece of bread, positioning it between the bread and the muffin tin to help keep it in position.
Sprinkle a small amount of shredded cheese on top of each piece of bread.
One at a time, crack an egg, removing about half of the white, and dropping the remaining white and yolk over each piece of bread, being careful not to break the yolks.
Bake until eggs are cooked through to your liking (about 10-12 minutes) and bacon is crispy.
Run a knife around the edge of each muffin well and pop the egg cups out.
Season with salt and pepper to taste, and serve immediately.
