Something I have recently discovered: You can make a whole breakfast the size of a silver dollar!
Honestly, this is just one of those silly recipes I kept seeing pop up all over my favorite food blogs, and I figured I’d give it a try. I much prefer a big, messy plate of bacon, eggs, and toast… but these sure are cute, aren’t they?
Though I probably won’t be making these for weekend breakfasts with just my guy, I do plan to pocket this recipe for later. I think these cutie cups in a larger quantity would be great as bites for a brunch, or if you need to feed a crowd of guests some morning-after and don’t want to deal with a hundred dirty dishes. But, really, when is the right time for a hundred dirty dishes?
When you’re feeling like something a bit “different” for breakfast and want to try something new, I do recommend giving these a shot, because let’s face it – Bacon and eggs beats a bowl of cereal any day!

Bacon, Egg and Toast Cups
Ingredients
- 4 slices of bacon
- 4 slices of bread
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese I prefer cheddar
- 4 eggs
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400° F. Grease 4 wells of a muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a frying pan, cook bacon about 3-5 minutes, until partially cooked but not completely crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Cut out rounds of bread with a round cookie cutter or drinking glass. Press the bread rounds into the greased muffin wells. Curl a piece of bacon around each piece of bread, positioning it between the bread and the muffin tin to help keep it in position. Sprinkle a small amount of shredded cheese on top of each piece of bread. One at a time, crack an egg, removing about half of the white, and dropping the remaining white and yolk over each piece of bread, being careful not to break the yolks.
- Bake until eggs are cooked through to your liking (about 10-12 minutes) and bacon is crispy. Run a knife around the edge of each muffin well and pop the egg cups out. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and serve immediately.
- Enjoy!
Hi, Georgia!
These are so adorable, but you already knew that, didn’t you!? What kind of camera are you using?? I want to save up for something good…
This makes me feel insecure about my peanut butter toast breakfast habit…
Have a great long weekend! Are you cooking anything interesting for Memorial Day??

Hey Lauren!
I use a Canon XS, and I LOVE it. I just use the standard lens now, but I’m hoping to get a macro lens eventually. I did my research for months before buying it, but I have no regrets. It’s a great camera!
Mmm, peanut butter on toast. I haven’t had breakfast yet, but I think that’s calling my name!
I think we’ll just BBQ some steak or chicken for Memorial Day, nothing fancy. Mark is working that day… Silly boys.
You and Ryan have a great weekend too! :)
I’ve been baking eggs into puff pastry lately, but bacon cups sounds like a much tastier option! Maybe add some fresh herbs and a sprinkle of grated cheese too.
THESE ARE SO CUTE!!! KEEP IT UP GEORGIA!!
This is so incredibly clever! I love how it looks like you can just grab them and go on with your busy day. Yum!
Hi, this is so tasty looking idea for a morning breakfast…looks yummy. Have nice Sunday!
Hi Georgia,
just read your comment on photography, I use an XS too and i love it. it’s really easy to use and doesn’t break the bank!
I would recommend trying out extension tubes. You can get a set of 3 of them for under $120 – it’s sooo much cheaper than a macro lens and you still get to have a bit of fun with macro-style shots. :)
These breakfast buttons look great! i love it when bacon gets that opaque look to it – you know it’s going to be crispy!
:D

Thanks everyone for your kind comments!
Budafist: Adding fresh herbs is a great idea. There is cheddar cheese under the egg to help it adhere to the bread, but as far as cheese goes, the more the merrier!
Emily: You’re right, these would also be good as a quick grab, like on a busy work day. Thanks for visiting!
Sarah: Thanks for your input on the camera lens. I’ve never heard of extension tubes, but I’ll look into them. Also… my husband prefers his bacon kinda “wiggly”, but I couldn’t live without crispy bacon! Thanks for visitng!
Beautiful, That is a nice Sunday breakfast! Thanks for sharing :)
What a creative breakfast that my kids would really love. I will surely grab this recipe to have a perfect meal. Thanks Georgia! Post more!
Thank you, Chuck!
Gabriel: I didn’t even think of it, but you’re right – Kids would love these! Thanks for your input!
I made this recipe probably about 30 minutes to go, and the least to say, it was delicious.
Though I found it slightly difficult to get the bacon under the bread so I wrapped it the best I could, then used a tooth pick to help it stay wrapped. This gives the cup more depth to keep the egg all cozy. Other than this? I love the recipe and plan to use it again!
Thank you so much for reporting back about the recipe – I’m so glad it worked out, with a few tweaks here and there. That’s okay… I never follow any recipe to a tee. You have to make it your own!

A friend of mine just introduced me to this recipe, but I’ve yet to try it. Your photo convinced me to do it tomorrow. I do love bacon…
The presentation on these is awesome! I’m with you though I prefer a big messy plate. :) Great for a family get together when there has to be room for LOTSA food on the plate!
I’m going to make these for my boyfriend this weekend! Yummy! :)
I made these but instead of using bread and cutting it into circles. I used mini bagels it worked perfectly
I Love It! Thanks for posting it. What a nice way to impress overnight family guests. Or just have a good start to a lazy Sunday with your man!
Check out my blog please at http:/jaxjule.wordpress.com and http://jacksjule.blogspot.com Would appreciate your input.
I will try these for sure. Thanks for sharing. Kim
I used individual silicone cups on a baking sheet…
I put the almost-cooked bacon around the outside + on the bottom…
I scrambled a few eggs to pour inside…
And i sprinkled grated cheese on the top when they were almost done cooking!
I opted out of using any bread product…
+ No grease necessary when you use silicone!
LOVED THEM
thanks for the idea! <3
I was curious if you ever considered changing the structure of your website? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or 2 pictures. Maybe you could space it out better?
