Bacon, Egg, and Toast Cups

Bacon, Egg, and Toast Cups

• Cooking spray
• 1 egg
• 1 piece of whole wheat bread
• 1 piece of lean bacon
• Sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Coat the Pyrex custard cup with cooking spray.

Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat for a minute on each side to get rid of some of the grease.

Take a rolling pin and roll out the piece of bread until thin. Turn the Pyrex custard cup over and use it to cut the crust away from the bread. Slice the bread round in half then press the halves into the cup overlapping the pieces. Use extra bread to patch any holes.

Place the bacon slice in the cup then crack an egg over the bacon. Season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste.

Place on a baking tray and bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes or until the whites are cooked but the yolk is still soft. Remove from the oven, run a knife around the edges of the toast and serve immediately. Enjoy.

**I forgot to spray the custard cups and had a really hard time getting them out..I also over cooked the eggs so they weren't dippy. If it is executed properly :) It would be delicious! I would also cook the bacon until it is pretty much done but not crisp before putting it in the bread bowl. This is a really fun meal to make that makes you look pretty snazzy! :)
