Scrambled Eggs in Toast Cups

Mmm…eggs you can eat with your hands! When friends come for brunch, these cute little toast cups look nice on a platter.

5 thin slices white bread, crusts trimmed

1 T. butter, softened and divided

2 eggs, beaten

2 T. milk

salt and pepper to taste

1/2 c. cooked ham, diced

3 T. canned mushrooms, chopped

1/3 c. shredded Cheddar cheese, divided

Spread bread slices on both sides with half of the butter. Gently press each slice into a buttered muffin cup. Bake at 375 degrees for 3 minutes, or until lightly toasted; remove from oven. In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt and pepper. Add ham, mushrooms and 2 tablespoons cheese; mix well. Melt remaining butter in a skillet over medium-low heat. Pour in egg mixture; cook and stir until eggs are barely set. Spoon eggs into toast cups. Bake at 375 degrees for 10 to 15 minutes, until golden. Sprinkle with remaining cheese; return to oven until cheese melts, about 2 minutes. Makes 5 servings.

Salt & pepper is a must for eggs and potatoes at breakfast. It’s the perfect time to use Grandma’s vintage rooster-shaped shakers for a sweet rise & shine greeting!
