Ingredients for servings

    Egg & Toast Cups

  • 6 slice whole-wheat bread

  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter melted

  • 0.25 cup shredded, reduced-fat cheddar cheese

  • 0.25 cup tomato finely chopped

  • 6 large egg

  • 0.25 teaspoon kosher salt

  • 0.25 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

  • 2 slice bacon cooked and crumbled

  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives optional

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F.

  • Flatten each bread slice with a rolling pin until very thin. Trim crusts off bread. Lightly brush both sides of bread slices with melted butter. Cut each bread slice in half diagonally.

  • With cut sides facing, place 2 bread halves in each of 6 muffin cups, making sure to cover bottom entirely and allowing bread corners to extend above rims. Bake at 375°F for 5 minutes or until bread is slightly firm. Remove pan from oven; sprinkle 2 teaspoons shredded cheese into each cup. Top each cup with 2 teaspoons chopped tomato. Crack 1 egg into each cup; sprinkle eggs evenly with salt and pepper. Bake an additional 18 minutes or until whites are set and yolks are still a bit runny or to desired degree of doneness. Remove egg cups from pan; sprinkle evenly with bacon and chives, if desired.
