INGREDIENTS

• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted for brushing on the outside of the bread
• 8 slices white bread
• 6 slices streaky bacon
• 6 large eggs
• Coarse salt and ground pepper
• Micro herbs
• Spray and cook
• 6-hole muffin tin
• Rolling pin
• Brush to brush butter on the bread
• Large round cookie cutter – if you don’t have one, you can just cut the bread circles with a knife

METHOD

PREHEAT oven to 190°C. Lightly butter 6 standard muffin cups. With a rolling pin, flatten bread slices slightly and with a 4 ¼-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.

ADD a couple of micro herbs to the top of each cup.
