This adorable dish didn’t come from your local café, it just looks like it did! These Baked Egg & Bacon Toast Cups tastes like a delicious egg sandwich – but even better because they are a beautiful treat for a brunch gathering, or quite frankly, to simply reward yourself! They look complicated but are a cinch. Dig in fresh from the oven when the bread is nice and toasty, the cheese is melted, and the eggs are soft and tender. Enjoy!

INGREDIENTS

• 6 slices light bread
• 6 large eggs
• 1 cup fresh spinach leaves
• 1/2 cup low-fat shredded cheddar cheese
• 6 cherry tomatoes, halved
• 3 slices Canadian bacon
• 1/2 tsp. each: salt and pepper, or to taste,
• fresh herbs, such as basil and parsley (optional)

 

PREPARATION

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.

• Coat a 6-cup muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray.

• Flatten each slice of bread with a rolling pin and stuff one slice of bread into each of the muffin cups, pressing along the sides to form a cup.

• Slice the Canadian bacon in half and put a half slice into each of the bread cups.

• Next put spinach leaves and cherry tomato halves on top of the bacon.

• Crack an egg into each of the cups and then sprinkle cheese on top. Season with salt and pepper.

• Bake for approximately 10 minutes or until eggs are set and toast tips are nice and browned. Enjoy!
