Recipe

Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 25 mins Ready Time: 40 mins


• 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 (190 degrees c). 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.
