Bacon, egg & toast cups

I saw this recipe on pinterest and thought it looked so good! I love breakfast food!
So you just need:
3 Tablespoons butter, melted
8 slices white or whole wheat bread
6 slices bacon
6 large eggs
salt & pepper
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees, then butter 6 standard muffin cups. Flatten the bread with a rolling pin (the recipe calls for 8 slices, but I only used 6) and cut out with a 4 1/4" cookie cutter. Cut each round of bread in half then press 2 halves into each muffin cup (at first I was like why cut them in half and then squish them back together in the pan?....but I found out it actually does work best to do that!) You can use the extra bread to patch up the gaps. Then you brush the bread with the remaining butter. (oops, I forgot to do this & they still turned out fine!)

Then you cook the bacon (not at moms house though, haha!) for like 4 minutes - or til it's crisp if you want. It does cook more in the oven- so you don't have to cook it all the way - but I like it crispy so I cooked it longer. Then you lay one slice of bacon in each bread cup & crack an egg over each one. Season it with salt & pepper (we used essence too!). Cook for 20-25 minutes - just until the egg whites are set. Run a knife around each cup to loosen the toast. Yummmmm!
**Side note: I just made these again today & I didn't put bacon in cause I didn't want to cook it, but I did put Man Chili and cheese on top after it was done cooking, and it was REALLY good that way too!
