I’m a little bit excited about this recipe. It’s so deliciously good, and easy.
I saw a picture of something similar on Pinterest a while back, and stored it in my memory space for recipes I should think about making. You know that space? Up there in your head. It’s like the third drawer down filled with odd things like your cousin’s birthday {somehow you remember if from when you were 12}, quirky facts about spiders {we eat 8 in our sleep in our lifetime} and other odds and ends.
So the other morning I woke inspired and decided to make them. I didn’t tell Hubby exactly what I was making, and sometimes that can be cause for concern, but as soon as he spotted the bacon he said, “Phew, there’s bacon. I’m going to be okay.”
These are, in essence, baked eggs inside bread rolls. There’s so much room to move though. You could add herbs, cheese, avocado, anything. Don’t like bacon, don’t cook it. And if you want to be healthy, don’t add the butter. These are going to be coming out when we have friends come and stay. There’s nothing more stressful then trying to make eggs for more than two people, especially when people like them runny and some like them hard.
Ingredients
Bread rolls {You’ll need as many bread rolls for as many people you have. I used small dinner rolls and we had two each. Lacey had one}
Eggs to fill the bread rolls {One egg per roll, or if you’re using bigger bread rolls – two eggs per roll}
Butter
Salt and Pepper
Bacon {try and get streaky bacon}
Method
♥ Preheat the oven to 160 degrees Celsius.
♥ Line a tray with baking paper and place slices of bacon on top. Roast for 15-20 minutes until nice and crispy.
♥ While the bacon is cooking, cut the tops off the rolls and scoop out most of the bread inside. Melt half the butter and brush the inside of the rolls.
♥ Crack the eggs into each of the rolls. And place a sliver {really thin slice} of butter on top of each egg.
♥ Place on tray and put in the oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the white of the egg is firm.
♥ Serve with the bacon. Season with salt and pepper, to serve.
Yum!!!
an awesome idea. Thank you for sharing.
Yummm, I think I might make these for dinner tonight with a nice salad. (Miss 3 is a bit difficult to feed and I did not design this week’s meal plan carefully enough to account for who is where and when)
I have weeks like that when my meal plan goes to crap. That was last week for me.
Good luck tonight. I hope they’re winning. x
MMMmmmmm just pinned it, will be having this for brekky sometime very soon!! I love my eggs runny, yummy!! Thanks Chantelle xx
I will be having this for brekkie this weekend 🙂
ow such a great idea 🙂 I will have to try it, Thank you 🙂
I made these for dinner.. So good!!
That space in my head is even more overflowing than my third drawer down. CANNOT be closed! x
These sound so good and I love breakfast. Uhm American here…. what is streaky bacon? I will make these tomorrow! or maybe tonight for dinner….
It’s the bacon with streaks of fat through them. I think your bacon is mostly like that, so just bacon!
Parece delicioso e fácil, gostei! Um abraço!
Oh I make these all the time, they’re so good aren’t they?! I also do a variation when I don’t have rolls with a piece of bread in a cupcake tin and then put the egg in on top. They’re great with herbs like you suggested.
Pinned – my lil family love eggs. Cant wait to try these.
Looking forward to trying this recipe – and the tea loaf and New York Cheesecake – yum
“slither {really thin slice}”
Sorry to be pedantic but “slither” is not a thin slice.
I think the word you wanted was “sliver”
Slither is a verb meaning to glide or slide like a reptile
Oh man! I’m serving reptiles on my eggs. Will change it. Thank you. x
Making these right now! Turns out the extra-large eggs I had were a little too big for the rolls, but still looks like they’re doing good!
I admire what you have performed here. I really like the thing where you say one does this to present back but I would assume by each of the comments that is definitely working for you as good. Do you have any more information on the following?
Absolutely delightful! Love the extra touch with bacon over the top. What a perfect breakfast idea 🙂
I added an egg to my pizza on our family Pizza night and it turned out great. So I’ll definitely save this post for a weekend brunch.
thank you….
C’est une superbe idée, je vais essayer sans tarder …merci Chantelle..
Added feta and some fresh red chilly for a kick – yummmm
