Bacon and Eggs in Toast Cups

I forgot to top these with shredded cheese for the photo, but you get the idea!


I usually opt for a piece of fruit and bagel for breakfast during the week, but come the weekend, I want bacon and eggs! Here is a easy and fun recipe for something a little different....

Bacon and Eggs in Toast Cups

Ingredients:
2 Tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
8 slices white or whole-wheat sandwich bread
6 slices bacon
6 large eggs
½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
¼ cup chopped green onion
Coarse salt and ground pepper

Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly butter 6 standard muffin cups. Slightly flatten bread slices  and cut into 6 rounds then press into each muffin cup, overlapping slightly and making sure bread comes up to edge of cup. Use extra bread to patch any gaps. Brush bread with remaining butter.

In a large skillet, cook bacon until almost crisp, about 4 minutes, flipping once. Wrap 1 slice of bacon around the muffin cup in each cup. Crack an egg over each. Season with salt and pepper.

Bake until egg whites are just set, 20 to 25 minutes. Sprinkle shredded cheese and chopped green onion on top of each cup. Run a knife around cups to loosen toasts. Serve immediately.
