Ingredients

• 4 pieces Bread rolls
• 4 large Eggs
• 1 cup Shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
• 0.5 cup Cooked bacon or ham (optional)
• 0.5 cup Cherry tomatoes (optional, halved)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

Step 2

Using a sharp knife, carve out the tops from the bread rolls to create shallow 'bowls.' Be sure to leave the bottoms intact to hold the egg mixture.

Step 3

Lightly brush the insides of the bread bowls with melted butter to ensure a crispy texture during baking.

Step 4

Sprinkle a small amount of shredded cheese into the bottom of each bread bowl to create a base layer.

Step 5

If using additional fillings like cooked bacon, ham, or tomatoes, add a spoonful to each roll at this stage.

Step 6

Carefully crack one egg into each bread bowl, ensuring the yolk remains intact. If the bread bowl seems too small, you can remove a little of the egg white to make it fit.

Step 7

Season each egg with a pinch of salt and a sprinkling of black pepper for added flavor.

Step 8

Top the eggs with a generous handful of shredded cheese and bake the bread bowls in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes. Bake longer for firmer egg yolks or shorter for runnier yolks.

Step 9

Once baked to your desired egg consistency, remove the bread bowls from the oven and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.

Step 10

Serve warm, and enjoy these delicious 'Eggs in Bed' as a comforting, savory breakfast!
