I made this for 1 serving yesterday for breakfast and really loved with eggs made this way. I made it as written and served it with some fresh fruit for a wonderful breakfast. Thanks for sharing the recipe. Made for Stars Tag Game.

This was one of the best breakfast dishes I've tried. Made for zaarstar, and glad I did. The use of bread as a crust was so yummy. Made just as directed.

What a yummy idea for a light meal! In step 5, I sauteed two cloves of minced garlic, added a sprinkling of thyme and 1/4 cup of sliced mushrooms, until the mushrooms had released their moisture. I cooked 2 rashers of bacon in the microwave between sheets of kitchen paper, chopped these up and added them on top of the egg cups with the cheese. We really enjoyed these and I'll certainly be making them again and experimenting with different additions. Thank you for sharing this recipe, Kizzikate. Made for Zaar Stars Tag.
