Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 slices whole-grain sandwich bread
1 teaspoon butter, softened
1 cup Canadian cheddar cheese or 1 cup canadian mozzarella cheese, shredded
4 eggs
pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F Butter 4 cups of a jumbo nonstick muffin pan or four 3/4 cup ramekins or ovenproof bowls.
  • Using a rolling pin or a glass, starting at the bottom edge, roll bread to flatten. Spread one side of each slice evenly with butter. Gently press butter-side up into pan or ramekins, pleating bread on two sides to fit and making 4 points above edge of pan.
  • Sprinkle about 1 tablespoons of the cheese into bottom of each cup.
  • Bake for 5 minutes until toasted.
  • Crack 1 egg into a separate small cup and drop into toast cup; sprinkle with pepper. Repeat with remaining eggs and toast cups.
  • Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake for 13-15 minutes, until center is just slightly jiggly for softly set yolks or until desired doneness.
  • Using two knives or narrow spatulas, carefully lift cups from pan and place on plates.

I'm not a big fan of runny eggs, so I cooked mine a bit longer. Other than that, I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out perfectly! The bread basket was a great way to serve the eggs and it added a nice crunch. Will definitely make this again

I'm not usually a fan of baked eggs, but this recipe changed my mind. The bread basket crust was a genius idea and added a whole new dimension to the dish. My kids loved dipping their bread into the runny yolks and savoring every bite. Definitely mak
