Sunny-Side Breakfast Baskets
📝 Ingredients (Serves 4–6)
- 6 slices bread (white, whole wheat, or brioche)
- 6 eggs
- 6 slices turkey bacon or regular bacon
- ½ cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your choice)
- 2 tbsp butter (melted)
- Salt & black pepper (to taste)
- Optional: chopped parsley, chili flakes, or green onions
👩🍳 Instructions
1. Preheat Oven
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C)
- Grease a muffin tin with butter or oil
2. Prepare Bread Cups
- Trim crusts (optional) and flatten each bread slice with a rolling pin
- Gently press each slice into the muffin cups to form a “basket” shape
3. Add Fillings
- Brush the bread lightly with melted butter
- Place a slice of bacon around the inside of each basket
- Sprinkle a little cheese at the bottom
4. Crack the Egg
- Carefully crack one egg into each bread basket
- Season with salt and pepper
5. Bake
- Bake for 15–20 minutes:
- 15 min = soft yolk (sunny-side)
- 18–20 min = firmer yolk
6. Finish & Serve
- Sprinkle extra cheese and herbs on top
- Let cool slightly, then gently remove from the muffin tin
💡 Tips
- Use quail eggs for mini baskets
- Add veggies like spinach, mushrooms, or tomatoes for a healthier twist
- For extra crispiness, toast bread lightly before shaping.
