Baked Eggs In Maple Toast Cups
Tasty toast cups with a hint of maple syrup, an egg, and a tasty surprise of bacon inside. A delicious and fun breakfast or brunch; serve with a cup of coffee or glass of orange juice. Make these in regular muffin cups (or you can use buttered ramekins, but increase the time to about 16 minutes because it takes longer for the heat to penetrate the ramekins). Figure on 1 to 2 cups per person. Adapted from dakin farm in vermont.
