CHEESY BACON-EGG BASKETS

I got this idea from a 2012 First for women magazine. This easy breakfast dish can be mostly prepared the night before and quickly finished the next morning.

6 slices bacon

2 tbsp melted butter

6 slices bread, not too thick

6 slices your favorite cheese

6 eggs

Heat oven to 375-degrees.

In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook bacon around 4 minutes until lightly crisp, set aside to drain on paper towels.

Coat 6 muffin cups with butter or nonstick cooking spray.

Using a rolling pin, flatten bread slices. Top each bread slice with a slice of cheese and gently press into the prepared muffin cups. Add 1 slice of bacon to each cup. Cover and chill until ready to bake.

To bake: Carefully pour 1 egg into each cup. Sprinkle each with pepper, if desired. Bake 18-20 minutes or until the egg whites are set. Remove from oven and let sit a couple minutes before removing from muffin cups.
