Bacon, Egg, and Toast Cups

These were so cute and sooo easy and good too. I found the recipe on Annie's Eats . I made one change by including the entire egg white instead of only part of an egg white and I used a jumbo muffin pan. The kids all really liked them too. Shane was a little grossed out by the yolk so I think when I try these again I'll mix the egg up before putting it in the muffin cup for a more scrambled effect.

Ingredients:
6 slices of bacon
6 slices of bread
shredded cheese
6 eggs
salt and pepper

Directions:
Preheat the oven to 400F. Grease 6 wells of a muffin pan. In a frying pan, cook bacon about 3-5 minutes, until partially cooked but not completely crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Cut out rounds of bread. Press the bread rounds into the greased muffin wells. Curl a piece of bacon around the periphery of each piece of bread, positioning it between the bread and the muffin tin to help keep it in position. Spring a small amount of shredded cheese in the center of each piece of bread. Crack an egg over each piece of bread, being careful not to break the egg yolk. Once all bread pieces have been topped with eggs, bake until eggs are cooked through to your liking (abt 6-10 min) and bacon is crispy. Run a knife around the edge of each muffin well and pop the egg cups out. Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve immediately.
