Ingredients

Scale

Batter Ingredients

  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup white granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 3/4 cup milk (or plant-based milk for a dairy-free version)
  • 1/4 cup butter (melted or sub with neutral oil for dairy-free version)

Toppings

  • 2 strips bacon (chopped into 1-cm wide pieces)
  • 6 large eggs
  • 6 tbsp shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella recommended)
  • 3/4 tsp dried parsley flakes
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the batter: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, white granulated sugar, and baking powder until well combined. Then add the egg, vanilla extract, milk, and melted butter. Mix just until combined, being careful not to over mix to keep the bread tender.
  2. Fill the molds: Pour the bread batter evenly into baking molds or muffin tins, filling each mold about halfway to allow room for the egg and toppings.
  3. Add eggs: Crack one egg into each mold on top of the bread batter. Use a toothpick to gently pierce the egg yolk so it spreads out during baking for even cooking.
  4. Top with bacon and cheese: Sprinkle the chopped bacon pieces, shredded cheese, dried parsley flakes, and season each mold with a pinch of salt and black pepper evenly.
  5. Bake: Place the molds in a preheated oven at 400°F (204°C) and bake for 23-25 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a clean toothpick into the center; it should come out clean when fully baked.
  6. Cool and serve: Remove the baked egg breads from the molds and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm with your favorite condiments such as ketchup, mustard, or mayonnaise for extra flavor.

Notes

  • Do not over mix the batter to ensure soft and fluffy bread texture.
  • Piercing the egg yolks helps them spread and cook evenly.
  • You can substitute milk and butter with plant-based alternatives for a dairy-free option.
  • Toppings can be customized—try adding green onions or different cheeses for variation.
  • Use silicone or non-stick muffin molds to help easily remove the breads after baking.
