More often than not, they just nibble at whatever’s on their plate and then rush off to school. And you’re lucky if they finish their lunch box too! But we have just the recipe that kids are going to love – Egg Toast Cups! This innovative recipe makes use of regular pantry ingredients to make a fun breakfast that’s also a complete meal!
Egg Toast Cups Recipe for Kids
Ingredients:
- 6 slices of Whole Wheat Bread
- 6 Eggs
- 12 teaspoons of chopped bell peppers in assorted colors
- 6 tablespoon of Shredded Cheddar Cheese
- Salt and freshly cracked pepper to taste
Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 400 F or 200 C. Brush a 6 cup muffin tin with oil or melted butter.
2. Take 6 slices of bread and cut the crush off. Using the palm of your hand slightly flatten out each slice. Or use a rolling pin to flatten them out. Do not flatten them too thin or else they will tear when you try to fit them in the muffin tin.
3. Carefully place the flattened bread slices into the muffin tin pressing it well to cover bottom entirely and allowing bread corners to extend above rims. Repeat with all the other slices.
4. Place the muffin tin into the oven for 5 minutes to crisp up a bit.
5. Place a tablespoon of shredded cheddar cheese into each of the toast lined muffin cups, followed by 2 teaspoons of chopped bell pepper.
6. Gently crack one egg into each muffin cup. Sprinkle salt and pepper on top each egg.
7. Bake in the oven for 15 minutes for a runny yolk or for 22 minutes for a fully set yolk.
8. Take the muffin cups carefully out of the muffin tin. Serve with some fresh salad on the side for a complete meal.
Now you can enjoy a well-balanced breakfast in one single muffin cup! You can bite into the muffin cup, but cutting it with a knife and fork may be a little neater.
You can use any cheese instead of cheddar cheese. Shredded mozzarella is also good choice, and gives that lovely pizza-like stretchiness kids love! Instead of chopped bell pepper other veggies can be used too. Just make sure it doesn’t have much moisture. Like if you are using tomatoes, make sure to discard the seeds and the pulp. They make the toast cup soggy and increase the cooking time. Otherwise, you can try out any option you like and let the whole family enjoy their lovely breakfast together!
