Now that the schools are back, it's kind of nice getting into our routine again.
As much as I enjoy a long lie, it adds so many more hours to my day getting up, eating breakfast with Agent M then getting dressed to start the day.
Here in Scotland though it's been rather cold of late so I've been wanting to make sure Agent M has a warm breakfast to start him off. That's where these delicious breakfast cups come in.
They are simple to make using a deep muffin tin and you can add many different ingredients to change it up each morning.
I made ham and cheese, since that is Agent M's favourite ... This is how I made them.
You'll need
6 slices of bread
3 eggs
A splash of milk
3/4 slices of cooked ham
50g grated cheese
Fry-light To grease
Salt and pepper to season
To make
- Heat the oven to 180c and grease the muffin tin with the fry-light.
- Cut the crusts off of the bread and flatten it out. Place a slice over a space in the tray and press in. You will need to overlap a little of the bread to make it fit. This will serve as the edible "cup". Repeat for the remaining 5 slices.
- In a bowl mix the eggs, milk and seasoning together. Pour the mix equally in the 6 bread cups.
- Shred the ham slices and distribute them among the cups and sprinkle in the grated cheese.
- Place in the oven and cook for 10-15 minutes or until the egg mix has fully set. You can check by inserting a knife into the middle of the cup. It should come out clean when cooked.
