Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Using a sharp knife, cut off bread crusts. Brush both sides of bread slices with butter. Gently press one slice into each cup of a standard muffin tin. Place 1 tablespoon spinach in each bread cup, then crack an egg into each; season with salt and pepper.
- Bake until whites are set and yolks are still soft, 15 to 20 minutes. Serve.
Tips:
- Use room temperature ingredients for even mixing and a smooth batter.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This helps incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter and more tender cupcake.
- Gradually add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This prevents the eggs from curdling and ensures they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt together before adding them to the wet ingredients. This aerates the flour and helps prevent lumps in the batter.
- Mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients in three additions, alternating with milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. This helps prevent overmixing, which can toughen the cupcakes.
- Fill the cupcake liners only 2/3 full. This allows the cupcakes to rise properly without overflowing.
- Bake the cupcakes at the correct temperature and for the specified time. Overbaking can dry out the cupcakes, while underbaking can leave them raw in the center.
- Allow the cupcakes to cool completely before frosting them. This helps the frosting set properly and prevents it from melting.
Conclusion:
