Steps
Preheat oven to 180C/350F.
Heat 1 tsp oil in small pan over high heat. Add onion and bacon and sauté until bacon is crisp - about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside (you can just leave it in the pan).
Cut bread into rounds or just cut crusts off. I use a 800g/28oz tomato can (emptied and washed) - the perfect size to cut rounds to fit into muffin tins out of bread, pastry etc.
Use a rolling pin to flatten the bread.
Lightly spray 6 muffin tin holes with oil spray, then press the bread into the muffin tin.
Place in oven for 3 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside. The toast cups should not be browned, just a bit dry (like "toast").
Whisk together the egg, milk, parsley and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Divide the bacon mixture between the 6 toast cups, then the cheese.
Pour 2 1/2 tbsp of egg mixture into each cup, then immediately place in the oven. If you take too long between pouring the egg mixture into the toast cups and putting it in the oven, the egg will start soaking into the bread.
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until the top is lightly golden and the filling is set.
Remove from oven and rest for 5 minutes before serving. The filling will be puffed up but it will deflate while resting.
Garnish with extra parsley if desired. Serve warm.

Susan Stewart on 2022-12-10 (5 stars): These were great! Made them for a school class party. My kids aren't usually fans of quiches but both enjoyed them! Thanks Nagi.
Margaret on 2022-06-03 (5 stars): My mum used to just trim the crusts off and use a square of bread pressed into the muffin tin. She called them tulips and they really did look like tulips
Sam on 2020-09-28 (5 stars): Great recipe Nagi! Super easy and delicious 😋
Saige on 2020-09-03 (5 stars): His is so easy and amazing! I’m only 11 years old so anyone can make it if I can! Super easy and fun and the best part it’s delicious! I even emailed the recipe to my teacher.
Janelle on 2019-05-17 (5 stars): Love it - so quick, easy and tasty. I've got my own twist by adding a spoonful of white sauce made with the sauteed bacon's butter. Gives the flavour a boost and makes it creamy. I also add a quartered buttered bread on top as a cover - looks flash and gives it a crunch.
