Bacon and Egg Pies!!!

Hello again..
Today we will do a typical, simple and delicious english breakfast but looking absolutely gorgeous and fabulous on the plate.

Our old time favorite, bacon and eggs!!

Make 2 pies.
Ingredients:
1 large egg
4-5 strips of thinly sliced smoked bacon
2 tbsp grated cheddar cheese
1 tsp chopped parsley
salt & pepper
Muffin tray or ramekin moulds

Grease the tray of the moulds with some butter..In a bowl whisk the egg with salt and pepper, add the cheese and mix well.
Now line the sides of the moulds with bacon strips forming a thin bottomless bacon cup. Now pour the egg mixture into the center and put some parsley on top. Now into the oven to bake for atleast 20-30 minutes at about 160 degree celsius or till the bacon becomes crisp and the egg cooks through..
Its that simple....remove from the tin mould and serve hot with toasted bread..

Variation :

Alternatively you could also make this pie with bread as the base..Take 2 slices of bread cut off the sides and flatten them with a rolling pin.
Fry the bacon strips in a pan. Now grease the mould and place bread sheets on top of the mould in a criss cross format and press the center down to form a cup.. Now place 1-2 strips of cooked bacon in the center and pour the egg mixture on top..
Put in the oven and bake till the egg is done and the bread is crisp.
