Time 40m

Yield 6 muffins, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 slices bacon
1 1/2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 1/2 tablespoons maple syrup
6 slices bread, crusts removed
6 eggs
salt and black pepper
6 tablespoons heavy cream
6 tablespoons cheddar cheese, shredded

Steps:

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.
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.
