  4. Crack one egg into each toast cup.
  5. Sprinkle each egg with 1 tablespoon of shredded cheese.
  6. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  8. Carefully remove from muffin tin and serve immediately.

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!
