Classification
NSW: EVERYDAY ACT: GREEN
Ingredients
20 slices wholemeal bread
6 eggs
550 g baked beans (preferably salt-reduced)
10 tbsp light tasty cheese, grated
Ground pepper, to taste
Method
1
Preheat fan-forced oven to 200°C. Spray muffin tins with canola or olive oil spray.
2
Remove the crust from each slice of bread and flatten with a rolling pin. Press one slice of bread into each well of the muffin tin and flatten the bread along the sides and bottom of the well.
3
Whisk eggs in a bowl. Mix in the baked beans, cheese and pepper.
4
Spoon an even amount of the mixture into each bread cup and finish by sprinkling a little more cheese on top.
5
Bake for 15-20 minutes, until the baked bean mixture has set and the bread is golden. Cooking time may be longer if baking multiple tins at once; rotate tins in oven if needed.
6
Remove from oven and leave to cool in tray for 5 minutes before serving.
Variations
- Swap baked bean mixture with a vegetable quiche mixture to make ‘Egg and Veggie Bread Cups’.
Tips
- The crusts could be used to make cinnamon or garlic flavoured bread stick snacks, or croutons for salads.
