Mini Bacon Egg and Toast Cups
These mini egg cups combine all the main food components of breakfast, with a toast bottom, shredded cheddar cheese, and a baked egg wrapped in bacon.
You might think, why not just have bacon, eggs, and toast separately?
Because it’s different when you put them all together like this.
They become one happy family, and infuse their flavors upon one another.
And plus, they’re just cute as heck, aren’t they?
I think that’s enough reasons to make these, so let me show you how!
First you cut out a little circle of toast, and lay it in the bottom of a muffin tin.
Then, you wrap a piece of bacon around the sides to create a little cup.
You grate a little cheddar cheese in that little cup, and crack an egg inside.
Send into the oven to bake, just enough for the white to set.
Then when you’re ready to eat, you just pop them out of the muffin tin, and when you eat them and slice through, it’s the perfect little bite of bacon, egg, and toast with runny yolk spilled over.
It’s gooooooood. And really very easy.
Mini Bacon Egg and Toast Cups
Ingredients
- 4 slices bacon don't do thick cut bacon
- 2 slices of toast
- 2 tbsp grated cheddar
- 4 eggs
- salt and pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Lay the bacon onto a cold nonstick skillet, turn the heat to medium, and let it cook for about 8 minutes, then flip and cook for another 5 on the other side. This time may need to be adjusted depending on the thickness of your bacon (either more or less), but let me say this. If you want your bacon to be crispy later on, you need to cook that bacon through as much as you can, but the bacon should still be pliable so you can wrap it around the edge of the muffin tin.
- Use a cutter to cut out little circles of toast, just big enough to fill the bottom of your muffin tin. Place the toast in your muffin pan, then wrap the partially cooked bacon around it. Distribute the grated cheddar cheese among the four cups, then crack an egg into each cup. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, then bake for about 12 minutes (adjust this time to how done you want your egg to be). Enjoy!!!

Oh wow, this recipe looks great – I can’t wait to try this recipe out! Thanks for posting and keep ’em coming!
Thanks! Yes, I always post daily Monday-Friday. Hope you’re having a good evening =)
Oh my God Joanne, what a lovely idea for a breakfast…all we want in jsut one serving…this is something I should try. Thanks for sharing.
You should know that I got my husband UP FROM HIS CHAIR to read this post to him! It sounds SO amazing and he is a HUGE bacon and egg person! You know what he did when I interrupted him from his book? He THANKED ME! He’s absolutely in love with this one…
I am stumbling it and I hope it goes viral…it’s AMAZING!
LOL!!!! Thanks for writing such an entertaining comment!!! This was so funny.
I can definitely get behind this dish and am ready to have it for dinner. Absolutely fantastic!
Huge YUM! Major fan of eggs and bacon so this is right up my alley. I always thought of making this but then considered the extra time it took to put it all together and cook and since I’m so damn impatient and grouchy in the mornings (without my first hit of coffee of course) and usually just committed myself to frying them up instead. But, gosh they’re so cute looking! This would be a great alternative to cooking breakfast for a crowd. 🙂 Love it!
This is the cutest breakfast I have seen! I’ll bet it’s totally yummylicious!
I’m in denial that this is actually happening right now. My mind has just been blown, ha! I’m most definitely keeping a hold of this recipe…thank you!
This is such a great idea! Fun for kids to get their own, fancy enough for a brunch. Great job!
Why make them separate if they combine into this. What a great dish!
What a lovely and genius idea for breakfast! I love how they came out so pretty and delicious 🙂
I love this idea too! When I eat breakfast, I usually get some of everything into one bite anyway. I l like your candid shot breaking the egg. Are you taking the picture yourself, or does someone assist you? Any of my candids are always really blurry because I’m trying to take them while
My husband was home while I made these so he took all the step by step photos (that’s why there are so many lol). I’m always like “honey!!! Go get the camera and take a photo of this” lol. It’s so much easier when someone else is there…I understand that blurry thing…it’s either that or set up a tripod with self timer which can be a lot of work!
