Baked MEAT & Egg Bread Cups

Print Recipe

Baked Meat & Egg Bread Cups are hearty, protein-packed breakfast or brunch treats made with bread-lined muffin cups filled with savory ground meat, seasonings, and a perfectly baked egg on top. Great for meal prep or on-the-go meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 slices sandwich bread
  • 1/2 lb ground beef or sausage
  • 1/4 cup onion, finely chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 tsp paprika or chili flakes (optional)
  • 6 small eggs
  • 1 tbsp oil or butter (for greasing)
  • Grated cheese (optional, for topping)
  • Fresh herbs (parsley or chives), for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 6-cup muffin tin with oil or butter.
  2. Flatten bread slices with a rolling pin. Trim crusts if needed, then press each slice into a muffin cup to form a shell.
  3. In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground meat with onion, garlic, salt, pepper, and optional paprika until browned. Drain excess fat if needed.
  4. Spoon the cooked meat mixture evenly into each bread cup.
  5. Crack one egg over each cup, being careful not to break the yolk. Add a pinch of salt and pepper on top.
  6. Sprinkle with cheese if using.
  7. Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until egg whites are set and yolks are cooked to your liking.
  8. Let cool for 2 minutes, then remove carefully. Garnish with fresh herbs and serve warm.

Notes

  • You can use turkey, chicken, or plant-based ground meat for variation.
  • To fully cook the yolk, bake closer to 18–20 minutes.
  • These can be stored in the fridge and reheated in a toaster oven or microwave.
  • Add spinach, bell peppers, or mushrooms for extra nutrition.
