Egg and baked bean bread cups
Recipe adapted with permission from Cooking for kids with food allergy, Department of Nutrition and Food Service, Royal Children’s Hospital, Melbourne.
- Preheat oven to 200°C.
- Spread bread thinly with margarine and press slices into a muffin tin, spread-side down.
- In a large bowl, lightly whisk eggs, then stir in baked beans and cheese. Spoon egg mixture into the bread cups. Bake for 20 minutes until egg has set.
Recipe tip
- Serve as a snack on days where more foods from the meat/ alternatives food group are required.
- For best results use fresh, ‘sandwich’ sliced bread. If using less fresh or thicker ‘toast’ sliced bread, trim crusts and lightly roll with a rolling pin.
- Trimmed crusts can be baked and served with dips as an afternoon tea snack.
- Use mountain bread or filo pastry instead of bread for variety.
- Serve with mixed vegetables or salad for a main meal.
