- Vegetable oil, to grease
- 12 pancetta rashers
- 3 medium eggs, beaten
- 50 g crème fraîche
- 50 g mature Cheddar, grated
- Small handful chives, finely chopped
- 6 cherry tomatoes, halved
- 50 g brown sauce
- Step 1Preheat oven to 180°C (160°C fan) mark 4. Grease a 12-hole mini muffin tin with a little oil. Slice pancetta rashers in half widthways. Lay two pieces into a hole of the tin, so they cover the base and come up the sides a little. Repeat with remaining holes.
- Step 2In a bowl, whisk eggs, crème fraîche, Cheddar, most of the chives and plenty of seasoning. Spoon into the lined holes. Place a tomato into each, cut-side up. Cook in oven for 15min, or until golden brown and set. Cool slightly in tin before gently transferring to a serving plate.
- Step 3To serve, mix brown sauce with 1tbsp water to loosen. Drizzle over the breakfast cups and serve just-warm.
