How to Make Baked Eggs In Maple Toast Cups

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Butter six muffin cups generously.
3. In a small saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Stir in 2 tablespoons of maple syrup.
4. Remove crusts from 6 slices of bread (about 6 slices of your favorite bread).
5. Gently flatten each slice of bread using a rolling pin.
6. Brush both sides of each bread slice with the maple butter mixture.
7. Place one bread slice into each prepared muffin cup, pressing gently to form a cup.
8. Evenly distribute 3 ounces of cooked and crumbled bacon pieces into each toast cup.
9. Carefully crack one large egg into each toast cup.
10. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and the yolks are cooked to your liking. Start checking at 15 minutes. If using ramekins, bake for 16-20 minutes.
11. Carefully remove the toast cups from the muffin tin and serve immediately. Drizzle with extra maple syrup, if desired.
