Donal's Notes

These little baked egg cups are a complete package of breakfast goodness to which you can add whatever odds and ends you have in the fridge. They can be made ahead, but I recommend eating them straight from the oven, while the egg yolk is still nice and runny.

Instructions

1

Preheat the oven to 190°C /375°F/Gas Mark 5. Arrange the cherry tomatoes on a small roasting tin. Drizzle with olive oil and season with sea salt and ground black pepper. Bake in the oven for 20 minutes.

2

Fry the streaky bacon in a large hot frying pan until just cooked but not crisp. Remove and drain on a plate lined with kitchen paper.

3

Boil the kettle. Place the spinach in a bowl and pour over the boiling water and leave to sit 2 minutes or until just wilted, drain and set aside.

4

Brush the cups of a muffin tray with a little oil.

5

Cut the sourdough bread into circular disks, small enough to fit in the bases of the greased muffin cups.

6

Line the muffin tray cups with the sourdough discs. Arrange slices of the cooked bacon around the sides of each muffin cup. Add a spoonful of spinach and top with a little goat’s cheese.

7
Crack an egg into each hollow and add a generous pinch of black pepper.
8
Bake in the oven for 10-15 minutes or until the white of the egg is set and the yolk is still soft. Leave to cool a little before removing from the tray.
9
Serve with some crusty sourdough bread toast and enjoy with the roast cherry tomatoes.
