Toasted Brioche Egg Cups

Toasted Brioche Egg Cups are a delightful breakfast or brunch option that combines the richness of eggs with the buttery, flaky goodness of brioche bread. These mini breakfast treats are perfect for a cozy morning at home or for entertaining guests.

Ingredients:

• 4 slices of brioche bread
• 4 large eggs
• 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/4 cup diced ham
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Butter for greasing
• Cooking spray

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 350F 175C

Using a round cookie cutter or a glass, cut out circles from each brioche slice that are slightly larger than your muffin tin cups

Grease the muffin tin cups with butter and place the brioche circles at the bottom of each cup

Spray each brioche circle with cooking spray to prevent it from getting too soggy during baking

In a small bowl, mix the diced ham and shredded cheddar cheese together

Place a spoonful of the ham and cheese mixture on top of each brioche circle

Carefully crack an egg into each muffin tin cup on top of the ham and cheese mixture

Season each egg with a pinch of salt and a dash of pepper

Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes or until the egg whites are set, but the yolks are still slightly runny

Remove the toasted brioche egg cups from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes

Garnish with chopped fresh chives

Serve warm, and enjoy your delicious toasted brioche egg cups!
