- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Grease 6 muffin cups.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons melted butter and 1 tablespoon maple syrup.
- Use a rolling pin to flatten 6 slices of bread (about 1/2 inch thick).
- Brush each flattened bread slice with the butter mixture.
- Line each muffin cup with a flattened bread slice, pressing gently into the bottom and up the sides.
- Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of crumbled bacon into the bottom of each bread cup.
- Crack one egg into each bread cup.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Top each egg with 1 tablespoon heavy cream and 1 tablespoon shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, etc.).
- Bake for 10-14 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and the eggs are cooked to your liking.
- Let cool slightly before removing from muffin cups and serving. Enjoy!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
