Bacon, Egg and Cheese Toasties
Slices of bread pushed into a muffin tin, brushed with butter and syrup then baked until done with bacon, eggs, cream and grated cheese. It's a meal in a muffin.
Ingredients
Serves: 6
- 6 rashers bacon
- 1 1/2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 1/2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 6 slices bread, crusts removed
- 6 eggs
- 1 pinch salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1/2 cup thickened cream
- 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, grated

- Place the bacon in a large frying pan and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on a paper towel-lined plate; crumble and set aside.
- Preheat an oven to 190 degrees C. Grease muffin cups.
- Combine the melted butter and maple syrup in a small bowl. Flatten a piece of bread with a rolling pin. Brush the bread with the butter mixture. Line the muffin cup with the flattened bread. Repeat with the remaining bread slices. Bake in a preheated oven until the bread crisps, about 3 to 5 minutes.
- Sprinkle crumbled bacon into the bottom of the toast cups. Crack an egg into each cup. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Top each egg with 1 tablespoon of thickened cream and 1 tablespoon cheese. Bake until the whites are just set, about 10 to 14 minutes or until the eggs are cooked to your taste.

Because I did not want to use maple syrup, I just doubled the butter. I made no other changes. This was so easy--my oldest boy was able to help me make this with no issues. To make the bread easier to form to the muffin cups, I used the top of a drinking glass to cut a circle, then flattened the circle with a rolling pin just a touch. I was worried that the bacon and cheese wouldn't be enough but the recipe was just right for each "cup". It's almost like a shortcut Egg in a Basket. Thanks so much for a new favorite--I'll make these again and again. - 19 Apr 2011 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
These were a big hit for brunch with my family. Like another reviewer I scrambled the eggs because once I toasted the bread cups and added the meat they weren't tall enough to hold an entire egg. I made some with bacon and others with sausage and swiss cheese. They came out fantastic! They were gobbled up faster than the danish and fruit I served! - 23 Apr 2011 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
These were an absolute hit when we made them! My only advice is double the recipe and make 12; not only do many muffin pans have 12 slots, but we ate them way too fast for 6 to have been enough! - 13 Jun 2011 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
