12 slices white bread
1 tbsp. butter, softened
1 tbsp. snipped chives
4 slices bacon, cooked, drained & crumbled
1/2 c. shredded cheddar cheese
3 cherry tomatoes, quartered
1 beaten egg
1/2 c. whipping cream
1/8 tsp. ground red pepper

Cut a 3" round from the center of each slice of bread (make crumbs of bread trimmings to use another time). Roll out each round with a rolling pin to flatten slightly. Grease 12 (2 3/4") muffin pans with butter, spreading over bottom and about 1/2" up sides. Press one bread round in each cup.

Bake in 350 degree oven for 5 to 7 minutes. Divide bacon among cups. Combine egg, whipping cream, chives and red pepper; divide among cups. Sprinkle with cheese. Bake in 350 degree oven for 10 to 12 minutes. Let stand 2 minutes before removing to plate. Garnish with tomatoes.
