Ingredients

Main Ingredients
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2/3 cup milk whole milk gives the best set
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine salt about 1.5 g
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper about 0.3 g, plus more to finish
  • 6 slices sandwich bread about 6–7 oz / 170–200 g total
  • 1 teaspoon oil 5 ml, for greasing the muffin tin
  • 1/2 cup chopped bacon cooked, about 3 oz / 85 g
  • 1/3 cup diced onion about 50 g
  • 1/3 cup diced bell pepper about 50 g
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs about 6 g (parsley, chives, or dill)
  • 3/4 cup shredded mozzarella or other melty cheese, about 85 g

Method

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 340°F (170°C). Lightly grease 6 wells of a muffin tin with 1 teaspoon (5 ml) oil.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, cook chopped bacon until lightly crisp, about 6–8 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
  3. In a bowl, whisk together 3 eggs, 2/3 cup (150 ml) milk, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper until fully combined and a little foamy. Refrigerate for 10–20 minutes.
  4. Press each slice of bread into a muffin well, gently pushing it into the corners without tearing.
  5. Bake the empty bread cups for 4–5 minutes until slightly set and dry on the surface.
Assembly
  1. Divide 3/4 cup (85 g) cheese among the cups. Add the cooked bacon, onion, bell pepper, and herbs evenly.
  2. Slowly pour the chilled egg mixture into each cup until they are about 3/4 full, letting it seep down for a few seconds.
Baking
  1. Bake at 340°F (170°C) for 18–22 minutes until the centers are set and the bread edges are golden.
  2. Let the cups rest in the pan for 5 minutes before removing.

Notes

For best texture, place a paper towel in the storage container to absorb moisture. Reheat in an oven or toaster oven at 350°F (175°C) for 6–10 minutes for the crispest results.
