To ensure that your Chili Cheese Egg Toast Cups are perfectly fluffy and flavorful, start with the egg mixture. Whisk together the eggs in a medium mixing bowl until they are well combined. Aim for a consistency that is smooth and slightly frothy. This indicates that air has been incorporated into the eggs, which will help create a light texture once baked.

Ingredients
  

4 slices of hearty bread (such as sourdough or whole grain)

4 large eggs

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 cup canned chili (choose chili with or without beans based on your preference)

1/4 cup chopped green onions (for garnish)

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper to taste

Butter or cooking spray for greasing the muffin tin

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it's hot and ready for baking.

    Grease the Muffin Tin: Generously grease each cup of a muffin tin with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.

      Cut the Bread Circles: Using a round cookie cutter or a drinking glass, cut 4 circles from the bread slices. Aim for circles that are slightly larger than the muffin cups, as these will serve as the base of the toast cups.

        Mold the Cups: Press each bread circle into the greased muffin tin, ensuring that it fits snugly against the sides to create small walls. This will help hold the egg mixture once added.

          Add the Chili: Spoon a layer of canned chili into each bread cup, filling them nearly to the top but ensuring not to overflow.

            Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a mixing bowl, crack the 4 eggs and whisk them together. Add ground cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to taste, and mix until everything is well combined.

              Pour the Egg Mixture: Carefully pour the seasoned egg mixture over the chili in each toast cup. Fill right up to the brim, but be careful as the eggs will expand while baking.

                Sprinkle the Cheese: Generously sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top of each cup, ensuring an even coverage.

                  Bake: Transfer the muffin tin to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and the tops are golden brown and bubbly.

                    Garnish & Serve: Once baked, let the toast cups cool for a few minutes. Garnish with the chopped green onions before serving. Enjoy your flavorful Chili Cheese Egg Toast Cups!
