Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 slices White or whole wheat bread slices
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 6 large Eggs
- 0.5 cups Shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your choice)
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Chopped fresh herbs (parsley, chives, or your choice; optional)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a standard 12-cup muffin tin or line it with baking spray.
Using a rolling pin, flatten each slice of bread until thin and pliable. Trim the crusts for a clean, uniform look if desired.
Brush one side of each bread slice lightly with melted butter.
Press each bread slice, buttered side down, into a muffin cup to form a toast cup shape. Make sure the bread covers the bottom and sides of the cup.
Bake the toast cups in the preheated oven for 5-7 minutes, or until just slightly golden and firm. Remove from the oven and set aside.
Crack one egg into each toasted bread cup. Sprinkle a pinch of salt, a dash of black pepper, and a sprinkle of shredded cheese over the egg.
Return the muffin tin to the oven and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes, depending on how set you prefer the egg yolk to be.
Once baked, carefully remove the toast cups from the muffin tin using a small spatula or knife to loosen the edges.
Garnish with fresh herbs if desired, and serve immediately.
