Slightly pan fry the bacon for a few minutes but not crisp. Dish up bacon on kitchen paper to absorb the oil.

Preheat oven to 190 deg C. Grease muffin pan with butter and set aside.

Trim off crust bread and cut the bread half diagonally. Then flatten the bread with a rolling pin.

Place 2 halves bread in each muffin cup and press tightly down around the cup (make sure there is no gap). Lay one bacon slice in circle in the bread cups and slip one cracked egg into each cup with a dash of salt and pepper on top.

Pop the muffin pan into the preheated oven and bake for abut 20 minutes or 2-3 minutes longer if you want a well done or less for runny egg.

Run a knife to loosen the cups and serve immediately.
