Ingredients

• 4 large eggs
• 4 small round bread rolls
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Use a sharp knife to carefully slice off the tops of the bread rolls and hollow out the insides to create bread bowls. Set the tops aside for later.

Step 3

Brush the inside of each bread bowl with melted butter. Place the bread bowls on a baking sheet and toast them in the preheated oven for 5-7 minutes until slightly crisp.

Step 4

Meanwhile, bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil. Gently lower the eggs into the boiling water using a spoon and cook them for 6 minutes for soft-boiled eggs. Once cooked, transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool slightly.

Step 5

Carefully peel the soft-boiled eggs, being cautious as the yolks will still be runny.

Step 6

Place one peeled egg into each toasted bread bowl. Sprinkle each egg with a pinch of salt, black pepper, grated Parmesan cheese, and chopped chives.

Step 7

Serve immediately with the reserved bread tops on the side for dipping.
