Bored of the old scrambled eggs, pancakes, toast and coffee? Well, me neither, but, how about trying something different?





I came across a recipe online for these very cute, gourmet looking "breakfast toast cups"that included bacon, toast, cheese and eggs. I thought they probably would require a lot of work and skills, but after more carefully reading the recipe, I realized it wasn't hard at all! So one Saturday morning I decided to give it try...and they turned out perfect! Not only that, hubby LOVED it!





And then it hit me, why don't more people know about this? It's so easy and yet such a fun, creative breakfast, especially if you are having guests over. Well my dear readers, I decided I would share the love with you, but not only that, I will share the "skinny" breakfast cup version! HOWEVER, if you are not interested in watching your weight, just use real bacon and white bread and you will be fine :)

So here you go:





Breakfast Cups (Skinny Version)









1 tsp Butter

1 slice of Whole Grain Bread

1 or 2 slices Turkey Bacon

1 Egg

Salt

Pepper

Parsley (optional)

1 Tbp of Reduced fat Cheddar Shredded cheese

And that's it! In less than 30 minutes you will have made a breakfast that looks like it came straight from a fancy french restaurant. So easy!





Now, if you are a visual person, I took some pictures while making them for you guys.



Step-by-Step with Pictures:





Steps 1 - 3 : Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees. Lightly butter ramekins and press bread onto the ramekins sides and bottom. Add shredded cheese.









Steps 3 - 5 : Cook bacon until golden (about 3 - 5 minutes ) and shape them around the cup inside the ramekin. Place them in the oven for 5 minutes.

















Steps 5 - 6: Remove ramekins from the oven and crack eggs inside the cups. Add salt and pepper to taste and garnish with parsley. Place them back in the oven for another 10 -15 minutes.





Steps 7 - 8: Remove ramekins from the oven and let it cool for a couple of minutes. Then carefully remove cups from ramekins using a fork or spoon. They should slide right out.





Place the cups on a place and serve!









I hope you like it. I certainly loved eating the results of this week's tutorial ;)
