Ingredients
- 6 slices bacon
- 1 ½ tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 ½ tablespoons maple syrup
- 6 slices bread, crusts removed
- 6 eggs
- salt and black pepper to taste
- 6 tablespoons heavy cream
- 6 tablespoons shredded Cheddar cheese, or as desired
Instructions
- Place the bacon in a large, deep skillet, and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on a paper towel-lined plate; crumble and set aside.
- Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease muffin cups.
- Combine the melted butter and maple syrup in a small bowl. Flatten a piece of bread with a rolling pin. Brush the bread with the butter mixture. Line the muffin cup with the flattened bread. Repeat with the remaining bread slices. Bake in a preheated oven until the bread crisps, about 3 to 5 minutes.
- Sprinkle crumbled bacon into the bottom of the toast cups. Crack an egg into each cup. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Top each egg with 1 tablespoon of heavy cream and 1 tablespoon cheese. Bake until the whites are just set, about 10 to 14 minutes or until the eggs are cooked to your taste.

Reviews
Eggceptional! Made exact to the recipe with a cook time of 12 minutes for set whites and runny yolks. I did use room-temperature eggs and cream. It is an instant add to our recipe file. Thanks.
These were wonderful!! My whole family loved them. I didn’t use bacon or sausage because I didn’t have any so just egg and milk. I added Swiss on some and a Mexican blend on the rest. The best part is how you can make them any way you like! I served for dinner with fried potatoes and onions and applesauce. Will definitely make again!
I made it with 4 oz of sausage like the magazine said. I used Italian vegetarian sausage and tasted awesome. I used white bread. My hubby loved it. Sorry forgot to take pic, was gone in no time.
Love this as a great base recipe, with lots of room to change for your own tastes. 2 sausage patties were cooked/crumbled. Used 3 slices of bread. Used some eggs whole, a couple scrambled. Nothing else was changed, except the addition of chives on top. Tasted great with a tad of cayenne pepper sauce!! For those whose muffin cups ran over, each should hold 6 oz. Gotta love this-none leftover!!! Thanks for sharing…
Delicious! I even forgot to pre-bake the bread and they came out crispy and perfect. I left out the maple and added a sprinkle of garlic pier
Great recipe. I can’t count how many times I’ve made these. Big hit every time.
The family really liked it!
I made a healthier version of these using chopped up sweet potatoes, spinach and scrambled the eggs. I also added a little water, which made them fluffier.
I made it for my Sunday School class and it was a great success. You can kick it up by adding other ingredients. Just as it is is perfect for a group. It was easy, presented beautifully and was a hit. Thanks.
no changes. Made them for a neighbor hard up on their luck. They loved them too and so easy to make.
Made this morning, and these were delicious. I made a few tiny changes due to what I had in my pantry! Instead of bread I used tortillas, and I eliminated the maple syrup step. I also didn’t add cheese (forgot!) or heavy cream (didn’t have). And added tomatoes & onion. Served on a bed of fresh greens with a dollop of guacamole. Everyone loved them. I’ll make these again.
Will definitely make it again. I didn’t have any cream on hand, but I don’t think I needed it. I would at least double the receipt. At least 2 a person.
This recipe is fun and versatile. I have added spinach, chicken sausage, tomatoes, onions, peppers. etc. Only thing I highly suggest is not cracking each egg in the cups. I usually use 6-8 eggs scrambled and pour in. You can also use just egg whites. Each time I have made these I change what I put in. No complaints yet
girl that was good
Simple, tasty, easy and the grandkids loved them too. Thats a grand slam
Absolutely delicious! The entire family loved it!
If I make I will leave out the syrup. I didn’t think it added much to the taste.
We loved this! I added a little chopped onion to it, but otherwise didn’t change a thing!
Used a whole-grain bread, and while nice texture, it was harder to remove from the greased muffin cups.
These were very simple to make. We really liked them, only thing is that a couple of the eggs seeped out of the muffin holder. Maybe put to much bacon in. I added parsley for decoration to! I will make them again.
This was easy to make and so very good. I had no muffin cups so the bread did stick a bit. I will keep making these so I can perfect in not over cooking the eggs. Any helpful tips is appreciated.
