Scrambled Eggs in Toasty Cups

Scrambled Eggs on Toast are a very popular quick supper dish over here in the UK. I had probably been living under a rock, but . . . . it wasn’t something I had ever heard of, or even considered prior to moving over here! I’d eaten plenty of toast with scrambled eggs, but had never had my scrambled eggs served on TOP of the toast.

When I was working at the Manor, quite often Todd would make me scrambled egg on toast when I got home from work. I would be too tired to want to cook for myself, but totally starving. (No I did not eat at work. They did not feed their employees. That was one of their rules. Rich people eh . . . go figure.) Scrambled eggs on toast never tasted so good as when Todd made it for me. He’s a great Scrambled eggs on toast maker, but I reckon he got plenty of practice at it when he was a bachelor!

This recipe today takes Scrambled Eggs on Toast to a whole new level . . . because they are not just ON the toast, but IN the toast!

Well, not in the actual toast, but piled into buttery crisp toast cups, that are very easy to make. You can be baking the toast cups while you make the eggs.

Making these cups are as easy as cutting the crusts off slices of bread, buttering it on both sides and then pressing the slices down into muffin cups and baking them until they are nice and crisped up. Fresher bread works best as it is more maleable and will press down into the cups much better without tearing or breaking.

The Eggs are delicious . . . free range eggs beaten together with cream, strong cheddar, and chives and then scrambled in a knob of butter . . . softly scrambled. Seasoned with some salt and pepper and a knob of butter folded in at the end, ensures that they are delicious and moreishly tasty. Pil them into the toast cups, put a bit of salad or sliced tomato on the side and breakfast, lunch, or even a light supper is served!

*Scrambled Eggs in Toasty Cups*

Serves 4

Printable Recipe

Eggs and toast, toast and eggs. Delicious with an impressive presentation, plus also very simple to make.

For the toast cups:

8 large medium thick slices of whole wheat bread

(Try to use as fresh as you can)

4 TBS softened butter

For the eggs:

6 extra large free range eggs
6 TBS single cream
60g strong cheddar cheese, grated (1/2 cup)
4 TBS snipped chives
2 large knobs of butter
Salt and pepper to taste

You will also need:

a few TBS chopped chives or flat leaf parsley to garnish

Preheat the oven to 200*C/400*F/ gas mark 6. Trim the crusts off the bread and trim them to equal sized squares. Press lightly and then butter them on both sides with the softened butter. Press firmly into 8 medium muffin cups. Bake in the preheated oven until crisp. This will take between 15 and 20 minutes. Set aside and keep warm while you scramble the eggs.

Put a large non-stick skillet on medium heat to warm up. In the meantime beat together the eggs, cream, cheese and chives in a bowl. Drop a knob of butter into the heated skillet. Once it starts to foam tip in the egg mixture. Let it sit for about 30 seconds or so and then using a wooden spatula start to bring the egg from the edges into the centre, folding and turning slowly as the egg begins to cook. (You can’t rush scrambled eggs) Cook only until the egg is mostly set, but still moist and then remove from the heat and throw in the last knob of butter, folding it in. Taste and then season. Sometimes the cheese gives it enough flavour that you don’t need any seasoning at all!

Place two of the toast cups onto each of four heated plates and divide the scrambled eggs between them. Garnish with the additonal chives or parsley. Serve immediately.

These make a lovely presentation for a special breakfast at the weekend. I can’t think of anyone who wouldn’t be pleased to be handed a tasty plate holding a couple of these! Egg haters maybe ðŸ˜² Bon Appetit!
