Number Of Ingredients 7

6 slices bacon
6 slices white bread, crusts removed
2 tablespoons butter, at room temperature
6 large eggs
salt
black pepper
1 tablespoon grated parmesan cheese

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 425°.
In a large skillet, cook the bacon over med-high heat until crisp, 5-7 minutes.
Drain the bacon on a paper towel-lined plate, then crumble it up.
Spread one side of each slice of bread with the butter.
Press the slices, buttered side up, into each of six 4-ounce ramekins.
Bake until pale golden, about 8 minutes.
Remove from the oven and decrease oven temperature to 350°.
Crack an egg into each ramekin.
Season the eggs with salt and pepper to taste.
Sprinkle each one with 1/2 teaspoon of the Parmesan.
Bake until the whites are set but the yolks are still nice and runny, 15-20 minutes.
Serve topped with the crumbled bacon.
