Ingredients

• 2 tsp olive oil
• 1 rasher of bacon, rind and excess fat trimmed and diced
• 1 shallot, finely diced
• 2-3 button or Swiss brown mushrooms, finely chopped
• 3 eggs
• 2 tbsp milk (can be omitted if dairy free required)
• 1/4 cup chopped baby spinach leaves
• 6 slices multigrain bread, crusts removed
• 3 cherry tomatoes (optional)

Method

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius and lightly grease a 6 x 3/4 cup muffin tin. -

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat and add the bacon, shallots and mushrooms. Cook for 3-4 minutes or until the bacon is cooked and the mushrooms soft. Remove from the heat and set aside. -

Step 3

Place the eggs and milk in a medium sized bowl and whisk to combine. Add the baby spinach and bacon mixture and stir to combine. -

Step 4

Place a slice of bread in each of the muffin holes and gently mould to fit the hole. -

Step 5

Distribute the bacon and egg mixture into each of the muffin holes. Allow some of the mixture to be absorbed into the bread before topping it up. Place a cherry tomato half on top of each and bake in the oven for 20 minutes or until the egg is set. -

Step 6

Serve for breakfast, lunch or dinner on your child's tasting plate. -
