I was searching breakfast ideas on the internet, when I stumbled upon these cute breakfast cups, which are made out of your typical breakfast - slices of bread, savoury ham and cheese, not forgetting eggs. What's breakfast without eggs? These adorable breakfast cups is set to make the most important meal of the day into a fun affair.

1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees.
2. Grease a 6-hole muffin tray with oil/butter.
3. Cut away the edges of the bread. Using a rolling pin, flatten the bread evenly.
4. Then, press it down into the muffin hole, forming a "cup" shape. Grease the insides of the bread-cup.
5. Bake for approximately, until edges began to brown. The shape should hold when it's taken out.
6. Line the cup with slices of bacon/ham and cheese.

7. Crack an egg in each of the cups. Be careful not to destroy the egg yolk. Season with pepper and salt.
8. Bake for 5 to 8 minutes, until eggs become visibly hardened (yet still in a runny form). Let the cups sit rest in the oven for another 5 minutes, the heat that is retained will continue to cook the egg slowly.
9. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve.
Tips
1. I baked the bread edges (from Step 3) as well. They turned out to be delectable crispy and tasted real good when dipped into the runny yolks.
