Breakfast Bacon Cups

Ingredients:

White or Wheat Bread
Bacon
Shredded Cheddar Cheese
Eggs
Butter
Maple Syrup
Salt & Pepper

(Note quantities not added. This will vary depending on how many you plan to make. It's safe to estimate about 2-3 per person.)

Pre-heat oven to 200C. While the oven is pre-heating partially cook the bacon for about 3-5 minutes in a large skillet set to medium-high.  You want the bacon to be a little cooked but still pliable. Mix maple syrup and butter in a small sauce pan and heat over medium low so butter melts (you cant mess this up so don't worry about amounts too much. I usually use 1/2 a stick of butter and a cup or so of syrup).
Using a cookie cutter, ravioli cutter, or whatever else you may have that can cut a 3 inch diameter circle-cut circles out of the bread slices.


Here comes the good part! Grease/non-stick  spray muffin pan and line with bacon so that is circles each mold. Now, brush each side of the bread with the syrup/butter mixture and place in cup so that it rests evenly at the bottom of the mold. You may have to do a little trimming of the bread but it's ok if it doesn't fit perfectly either. Crack an egg into each mold, season with salt and pepper and give each cup a sprinkle of cheese (you can also add the cheese on top of bread, beneath the egg).

Place in oven for 7 - 8 mins. This is for a slightly runny egg. If you're looking for a solid yoke cook for about 10 mins.
