Serves2
Cooking Time25 min
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoon butter, melted
- 8 slices whole wheat sandwich bread
- 6 slices of center cut bacon
- 6 large eggs
- 1 small Roma tomato, cut into thin slices
- 6 small slices of cheddar cheese (about the size of a cracker)
- salt and pepper, to taste
- dried dill, to taste
- paprika, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Grease 6 standard size muffin cups in your tray. (If using a 12 cup tray, spread cups out, leaving empty tin in between).
- Use a rolling pin to flatten your bread slices slightly. Take a glass (with about a 4 1/4" round opening) to cut your bread into 8 rounds.
- Cut each round in half, then press 2 halves into each muffin cup. Make sure it's overlapping slightly, coming up to the edge of the cup.
- Use the extra bread pieces to patch up any gaps on the sides. Now brush each cup with melted butter.
- In a large skillet, cook your bacon until just crispy, usualy about 4 minutes, flipping once.
- Now back to the cups. Lay one piece of bacon into each cup, place a slice of tomato on top of that. Then a slice of cheese.
- Crack egg over that into each cup. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, dill and paprika.
- Place tray in oven, bake until egg whites are just set, about 20 to 25 minutes.
- When removing cup from tray, run a small knife around the cups to loosen. Serve immediately.
