A meal from a muffin pan? It’s true! Everyday Food editor Sarah Carey shows you how to make these adorable dishes that can be served for dinner or brunch.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly butter 6 standard muffin cups. With a rolling pin, flatten bread slices slightly and, with a 4 1/4-inch cookie cutter, cut into 8 rounds. Cut each round in half, then press 2 halves into each muffin cup, overlapping slightly and making sure bread comes up to edge of cup. Use extra bread to patch any gaps. Brush bread with remaining butter.
In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium, until almost crisp, 4 minutes, flipping once. (It will continue to cook in the oven.) Lay 1 bacon slice in each bread cup and crack an egg over each. Season with salt and pepper. Bake until egg whites are just set, 20 to 25 minutes. Run a small knife around cups to loosen toasts. Serve immediately.
Standard muffin pans come in 6- or 12-cup size; if baking 6 items in a 12-cup pan, leave empty space in between. Nonstick pans are nice but not essential. Beware of very thin pans, which often lead to burning. Place pans on a baking sheet to make them easier to get in and out of the oven.

Fantastic and so simple. Even considering I forot the salt and pepper! I often have to cook for a crowd so this worked really well. Everyone gets their eggs, bacon and toast at the same time without getting cold. My hubby actually asked how complicated it was so that I could make it again.
I liked these but kids freaked by "rubbery" film on eggs. Someone suggested cooking for 16 mins -- not 20+ mins. I'll try that next time. (Just peeled off rubbery top, tasted great!)
Isn't everything better in a muffin tin? Yes! Be sure to carefully plug each [filtered word] in the bottoms like Sarah tells you. I used Costco precooked bacon which worked great.
I teach a middle school cooking class and we did this recipe yesterday. I had to change up a couple of things due to the fact we had no bread on hand. So we used frozen biscuit dough and it worked. We used a 12 cup tin, pressed the biscuit thin, layered the bacon, cracked the eggs (we used farm fresh eggs) and baked. They turned out wonderfully. Thanks Sara!
Absolutely wonderful! And it's true- the muffin pan is the greatest thing!! Finally something other than muffins. This recipe was easy to make and a new twist on something tried and true- bacon and eggs! For KWCrosby- about the eight slices of bread- Sarah mentioned that you would need that bread to plug the holes at the bottom of the muffin pan since the two sides would not be quite enough to cover the whole surface. This is definitely an excellent "Everyday Food" recipe!!! Thanks Sarah :-)
Perhaps I'm missing something, but why would you use 8 slices of bread for 6 of these?
I LOVE this recipe! Will definitely make this again for sure. I made it using ezekial bread instead of white bread. FANTASTIC!
For a soft yolk, I recommend cooking it for 16 minutes.
We love these breakfast treats. So cute, the kids love them too.
My take here: http://goodyfoodies.blogspot.com/2012/12/recipe-bacon-egg-toast-cups-revisited.html
If you like the yolks runny, remove the yolks before making it so its just egg whites. then fry the yolks like you would a full egg, and break it over top of the cups! yum (:
These are awesome. But I like my egg yolks runny, any suggestions anyone?
Currently trying this recipe as we speak. Been meaning to try it since the first time I saw it.
we will see - seems simple enough
Great recipe! However, I added a sun dried tomato and basil goat cheese spread to the bottom and sprinkled some fresh dill on top. Then made a mustard, hot sauce, and maple syrup sauce to top it with. Really adds to the recipe if you want it to be more than "simplistic" tasting.

I made this simple but elegant recipe when my parents came for a visit last weekend. It was wonderful! It's a nice way to take the normal breakfast foods and make them interesting and lovely. I will definitely make them again. Thanks, Martha and team!
Love this recipe! I used sourdough instead & also sprinkled a bit of sharp cheddar on top and broiled it for a minute at the end so the cheese would form a nice crust.
Just made this recipe this morning. It was great! My husband loved it! Definitely a repeater. I love the presentation.
Normally I am like" I am so gonna make these!!" and then I never do..But this morning I was feeling motivated and it was great. I used my hand to flatten the bread, added the bacon, whole eggs for the man and I and scrambled a some for the kiddo! About 30 minutes in the oven and we loved it! Super easy..and seems to me we can try all sorts of variations!
This recipe is super-easy, but the finished product looks impressive. The cups have great flavor, and make a great breakfast. Easy enough to do as an everyday dish!
We love these! I chose to make ours using Texas toast, turkey bacon, sauteed spinach, egg, and shredded cheese. Also, I only made three of them, so I used ramekins instead of a muffin pan.

Made this for the first time today. I switched out the bread for biscuits. Flattened them with a rolling pin to make room. They were DELISH! Will definitely make again. Good suggestion is to cover with a gravy or sauce.
I made these and they are delicious. I used ham instead of bacon, you can see my recipe at http://gabhousewife.blogspot.com/2011/10/ham-cheese-egg-breakfast-cupcake.html
This is such a great idea and looks so adorable. You will certainly wow your guests with this breakfast and it's not difficult. :)

I make these whenever my children have a sleepover. They are perfect because they are all ready at the same time. I have done them with sausage, shredded cheese and even scrambled the eggs with chives. The options are endless. Thank you Martha!
I just served these at a baby shower...yum! I added a small chunk of brie before the egg, then garnished with chives after baking. Everyone enjoyed them.
