I hate when a recipe uses both U.S. and metric. I am not familiar with the metric system so I have to go and find a conversion chart to find out how much 30 grams of butter is. I clicked on U.S and it changed to .07 lbs. of butter. Does anyone know off the top of their head how much .07 lbs. of butter is? why not just say butter the bread? I apologise for the rant . -
IS THE BACON PRECOOKED? -
Did you use a cupcake tin to make this? Does it come out pretty easily?

A hit with everyone.I made them exactly as stated and added a little chesse for 10 minutes at the end of cooking time, and they were universally loved.They travelled well and were just great warm, and then cold the next day! Will be making this again.Thanks yummies -
My son has early morning band practices a couple of times per week and he needed something quick to grab and run out the door. These were a huge hit with him. The first time I made them as directed. The second time I added a little finely chopped polish sausage and shredded cheese in the bottom and topped with uncooked scrambled eggs. Six scrambled eggs fit perfectly into 12 muffin tins. Either way these were a great on the go breakfast. Thanks for the recipe. -
I brought these for a weekend away at a car show. They were a hit, easy to make and you can add your own variations. I scrambled the eggs and then put them in the bread cups. The kids loved them!! -
I was going to give this 4 stars but have made them twice since then. The second time using green chilies and onions, and the third time I omitted the bacon and used cheese, tomatoes and olives. All three were great. The best thing is you can make several different ones all at one time. Thanks for a great idea and recipe! -
I loved these--great way to eat bacon, eggs, and toast in a convenient hand-held form. They will be so handy to make ahead for quick breakfasts. I cooked mine 25 minutes as I wanted to make sure the egg was not runny at all. They came out exactly like I wanted and firm enough to eat as a finger food. I used precooked bacon and whole wheat sandwich bread, and I think they would also be good with chopped scallions on top, maybe even some cheese. But they're great just as they are! Thanks for posting the recipe.

These were great and I plan on making more to keep in the fridge for those hectic mornings. I did change a few things... I used butter spray in the tins, instead of buttering the bread. I also added a bit of shredded cheddar and instead of bacon used some ham. I also didn't have any parsley (as it tends to drive me crazy) so I left that off. Mine took about 25 minutes to cook up. Thanks for a fantastic recipe!! The kids also loved helping out with these!

Hello to all. Thanks to all for taking the time to read all about me. I've just moved to the Northern Territory and loving it here. I can't wait to be able to put all the local produce to work in my kitchen. I love to cook and no doubt with the climate here we will be using the BBQ alot more these days. I'm a huge dog lover and I spend most of my time with my dogs if I'm not trying out any of my kept recipes from the zaar site. Cheers for now.
