How to make

  1. 1. Preheat the oven to 180°C.
  2. To make 4 cheesy muffins:
  3. 2. Flatten the slices of bread with a rolling pin until it's about half the original thickness.
  4. 3. Using a muffin tin, press each slice of bread into the moulds to create cups out of the bread, then trim the over-spilling edges.
  5. 4. Melt approx. 25g butter in a bowl, then using a pastry brush, cover the bread cups in butter and press them back into their muffin tin moulds.
  6. 5. Whisk up 3 eggs in a bowl and season to taste with salt and pepper.
  7. 6. Grate the Godminster cheese and add to the eggs.
  8. 7. Pour the egg and cheese mix into the bread cups, dividing the mixture evenly.
  9. To make 4 bacon muffins:
  10. 2. Crosshatch the rashers of bacon in the cups of the muffin tin to create cases for the eggs, cutting the bacon to size as you go.
  11. 3. Crack a raw egg into each one of the bacon cases.
  12. 4. Season the egg with salt, pepper and if you wish, garnish with a sprinkling of finely chopped, fresh chives.
  13. 8. / 5. Place the muffins in the oven and cook for 15 - 20 mins depending on how runny you like your eggs.
