These bacon egg toast cups combine three breakfast favorites into one portable breakfast dish. I you love eggs, bacon and toast you will love this easy egg cup recipe.
I know some people skip breakfast, but I’ve always been a breakfast eater because my mom always made sure we had something before leaving for school. Especially on test days. On those days she would make a big, hearty breakfast because she wanted to make sure my siblings and I ate well.
So, I love breakfast recipes and especially ones that are good for grab-and-go meals like these bacon egg toast cups. I made them recently for my brothers who have been studying for college finals. I love the idea of putting all the traditional breakfast items into one dish. You don’t even need a knife or fork to eat these breakfast cups – just grab one and head out.
These are really easy to make too. It took me only a few minutes to make a batch and Baby Bro and the BF really liked them. If you like eggs, bacon, and toast, I think you’ll like them, too.
Ingredients
- 4 slices of bacon
- 2 slices of bread
- 4 eggs
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Recipe Steps
Using the top of a round glass that has an opening slightly bigger than a muffin mold, about 3.5 inches, cut circles from bread. You should be able to cut two circles per slice of bread.
Grease four muffin molds. Place the bread on the bottom of each muffin mold. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Cook bacon slices in a pan about 3 minutes or until halfway cooked. Place bacon slices around the edges of the muffin tin. To help them stay, you might want to tuck the ends underneath the slices of bread.
Crack an egg and put it in the middle of each muffin mold. You may want to leave out some of the egg white so that the yolk doesn’t overcook while waiting for the egg white to cook.
Place muffin molds in the oven and cook for about 12-15 minutes until eggs are cooked to your liking and bacon is crisp. I like to leave the egg yolk a little runny.
Use a knife around the edges to help lift cups from the muffin mold. Season with salt and pepper and serve while hot.
Just found you today Kerbie – I will enjoy your recipes and ideas. ED
yay! welcome!
these would be great with a slice of cheese on the bread piece!
great idea!
Great little idea and would be good for Christmas morning too. Only thing I would add would be some shredded cheddar on top. I have a six cup muffin pan that would be perfect for this. do you think english muffins would work too?
Yes I’ve done English muffins before too! They definitely work, esp if you have the bigger muffin pan. I’ve tried adding cheese on top as well and I like all the different variations.
I made this was a slice of ham folded up in the cup. Using ham, you don’t have to worry about the bacon being done.
That works too! I love bacon though. And I use precooked bacon now so I don’t have to worry about cooking the bacon.
I wish you were around to make me breakfast for my finals!
Haha. I’m sure you can convince someone to make this for you!
I just made my own version of these with two pieces of bread and egg whites instead of a cracked egg and wow they are still soooo good. I will definitely be making them again. Thanks for the tip 🙂
This is a super idea, I shall have to try it! Mind you, I’m such a messy eater knowing my luck the bacon wont hold the egg properly and I’ll end up with the yolk all down my top! :p
I was sort of wondering what kept it all together, but they seemed fairly sturdy. I think everything cooking together and the egg white kept it together.
Simple yet yummy!!! Thanks for sharing!
I’m taking my DAT’s on Friday, April 1st. Some protein and carbs would be excellent for the 5.5 hour test. *hint hint* 🙂
I love this idea! I’ll have to make some for breakfast this weekend.
I really love this idea. I can’t wait to make it again.
This would make an awesome brunch party bite!
Ooh, that’s a good idea!
