Baked Eggs In Toast Cups With Melty Cheese Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• Butter each slice of bread.
• Squeeze into the ramekin or muffin tin, buttered side down. Press bread against sides of dish to push crust above the rim and make enough room for the egg.
• Because the bread doesn't always go where you want it to without tearing, you may find yourself with some pretty big holes.
• Don't worry aboutt it. Just patch it with a buttered piece torn from another piece of bread.
• Top with 1-2 Tablespoons chopped bacon, if using.
• Break one egg into each ramekin and grind fresh pepper over the eggs.
• And don't skimp on the black pepper! You will regret it!
• Sprinkle evenly with about 1 additional Tablespoon shredded cheese and any other desired seasonings.
• Bake 15 to 25 minutes, till cheese is browned and eggs are cooked to desired consistency.
• If you prefer runny yolks, pull the eggs from the oven closer to 15 minutes.
• If you prefer medium yolks remove at about 20 minutes.
• If you like yolks that are firm all the way through, cook closer to the 25 minute mark.
• Remove toast cups from the dishes and serve. (These can also be served in the ramekins if they were cooked in them, but can pose a burning hazard for small hands. Use your discretion.).
• Serve hot, warm, or room temperature. Use hot sauce as desired.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
• In a measuring cup, beat the eggs until smooth. Set aside.
• In a greased muffin tin, place your desired combination of fillings into each muffin cup.
• Season each cup with salt and pepper.
• Pour the beaten eggs into each muffin cup until the liquid almost reaches the top.
• Bake for 20 minutes, until set.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Separate the egg whites from the egg yolks. Place the egg yolks into a bowl and mash with a fork. Chop the egg whites into small pieces and set aside.
• Melt the butter in a saucepan set over medium heat. Stir in flour until smooth. Gradually mix in the milk and chicken bouillon so that no lumps form and stir constantly until the mixture comes to a boil. Add the egg yolks and mix until dissolved. Stir in egg whites. Serve over toast and season with salt and white pepper.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Using a 3-inch biscuit cutter or your fingers, make a hole in the center of 4 slices of bread. Butter one side of the remaining 4 slices.
• Place the 4 buttered slices, buttered side down, on a baking sheet. Top with the slices with holes in the center. Break 1 egg into each hole, keeping the yolk intact. Cover with tomatoes, bacon, and cheese. Season with salt and pepper.
• Bake until cheese has melted, and the egg is set but slightly runny, about 15 minutes. Be sure to check frequently, as the eggs set quickly.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spread both sides of 4 slices of pumpernickel bread with 2 tablespoons softened butter. Firmly press slices into four 8-ounce custard cups or a jumbo muffin tin. Bake until crisp, 15 to 20 minutes; set aside.
• Meanwhile, whisk 10 large eggs in a large bowl with 1 teaspoon coarse salt and 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat; add eggs. Cook, scraping pan occasionally with a heatproof rubber spatula, until eggs are just set, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Spoon eggs into toast cups; garnish with chopped fresh herbs.

Steps:

• With a spoon, press down on the center of the bread to form a pocket.
• Line the edges of the bread with butter, and crack an egg into the pocket.
• Line the edges of the bread with shredded cheese.
• Sprinkle on salt and pepper, and bake at 400°F (204°C) for 10-15 min. 10 min will have a runny yolk whereas 15 min will have a firmer yolk.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Divide the bacon slices among 2 large skillets. Cook in a single layer over medium-low heat, flipping once and draining the rendered fat as needed, until the bacon is almost fully cooked but still pliable enough to bend, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain the bacon on a paper towel-lined plate and set aside.
• Unfold the puff pastry sheets onto a lightly floured work surface. Lightly roll each sheet with a rolling pin to seal together any folds..
• Using a sharp knife, cut each sheet into 9 equal squares. Place 1 puff pastry square in each cup of a 12-cup muffin pan, pressing it firmly into the bottom and sides and letting the edges hang over the cup. (Reserve and freeze the 6 leftover squares for another use.)
• Place 1 of the bacon strips in each puff pastry cup, letting the ends stick out.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs with the milk and a pinch each of salt and pepper.
• Divide the cheese among the puff pastry cups, followed by the egg mixture.
• Bake until the puff pastry is golden brown and the eggs are cooked through, 18 to 22 minutes. Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes then loosen the pastry cups around the edges with a paring or butter knife.
• Sprinkle the egg cups with the chives and serve immediately.
