Method:

1. Preheat the oven to 190°C/375°F/Gas mark 5.

2. Roll each slice of bread with a rolling pin until flat, halve each slice and place on a greased muffin tray, pressing each slice into the cake mould. Bake at a low heat until crisp.

3. In a small frying pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the mushrooms, garlic, salt and pepper and fry, stirring regularly, for 3 to 5 minutes or until tender.

4. Break the eggs in a bowl, piercing the yolks with a small sharp knife. Pour the eggs over the bread cups, dividing the mixture evenly. Top with the mushroom mixture and sprinkle with the cheese.

5. Bake in the oven for 15 minutes, or until the eggs are just set.
