Easy Peasy Mini Bread Cups

This is something I've created on one of my lazy days when I wanted to make something for my journalling group without having to go through the extent of starting my pastry from scratch...hahaha...it's strange what can come out from a pair of lazy hands result in more brain power used!

Ingredients:

12 slices of white/wholemeal bread, buttered thinly on both sides,

200g of roasted pumpkin cubes (seasoned with olive oil, salt, mixed herbs, paprika and coarse black pepper),

2 turkey sausages (or any other meat of choice, toasted and sliced thinly with skins removed for health reasons),

2 large portobello mushrooms (sliced) ,

sundried tomato strips according to your liking,

3 eggs (with some mixed herbs, sprinkle of salt, paprika, cream and parmesan cheese added to it)

* note: can add any other roasted veggies of choice too if you like: eg. onions, capsicum, aubergines (eggplant)

* note: use cayenne pepper or hot paprika instead of sweet paprika for a spicier kick!

1) Use egg ring or cookie cutter to cut slices of bread into 12 rounds. Place them in oiled muffin pans.

2) Place the sliced turkey sausages, followed by the roasted pumpkin cubes and mushroom slices.

3) Pour in egg/cream mixture into each bread cup till 3/4 from brim ( as bread soaks up the egg mixture too, the final product will be more like a french toast taste than a quiche)

4) Sprinke some tasty cheese shreds on top / fetta cheese if desired (i didn't have it that time)

5) Bake for about 5-7 minutes in preheated oven of 170 degree celcius.

Serve warm! Cos it won't be toasty after being left out in the cold for too long!

Hope you guys will enjoy this easy treat as much as i did!

much love, granny bear
