Bacon & Egg Toast Cups | ireallylikefood

When I was in high school, my mom made sure to always prepare a big breakfast before I had a test. She always emphasized how important it was to eat well.

This weekend is finals week at UCSD. My brothers have been busy studying away. On Saturday morning, I was awake early so I decided to make them these bacon egg toast cups which I had bookmarked. I love this idea of putting all the traditional breakfast items into one. You don’t even need a knife or fork to eat this with.

These are really easy to make too. It took me only a few minutes to make. Baby Bro and the BF really liked this. I’ll have to make them again soon.

Recipe: Bacon Egg Toast Cups

Ingredients

4 slices of bacon
2 slices of bread
4 eggs
salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Using the top of a round glass that has an opening slightly bigger than a muffin mold, about 3.5 inches, cut circles from bread. You should be able to cut two circles per slice of bread.
Grease four muffin molds. Place the bread on the bottom of each muffin mold. Preheat the oven to 400F.
Cook bacon slices in a pan about 3 minutes or until halfway cooked. Place bacon slices around the edges of the muffin tin. To help them stay, you might want to tuck the ends underneath the slices of bread.
Crack an egg and put in the middle of each muffin mold. You may want to leave out some of the egg white so that the yolk doesn’t overcook while waiting for the egg white to cook.
Place muffin molds in the oven and cook for about 12-15 minutes until eggs are cooked to your liking and bacon is crisp. I like to leave the egg yolk a little runny.
Use a knife around the edges to help lift cups from the muffin mold. Season with salt and pepper and serve while hot.

What size eggs did you use? Using one size smaller than you normally might also help with the cooking.

Those have been a family favorite since I was a little kid! Now I make them for my kids. It's cool to see them get some publicity since they're amazing.

@xMyObsessionx@xanga - Oh yes, Bacon is full of teh wins! I actually made a children's book as a kid, where the whole story revolved around a demon cat that needs bacon to turn strong (I kid you not).
Unfortunately all that crunchy goodness is also artery clogging goodness--something that some of us can't ignore unfortunately T_T....
...Okay NOW I WANT SOME AGH.
