How happy is this sunny-side up bread bowl? Totally different than my usual peanut bar on the go. These are super simple and they make for a beautiful presentation if you are planning on making something special for your mom next weekend on Mother’s Day. I filled most of my rolls with spinach and also filled a couple with crispy bacon. Yummm!
Ingredients
- 6 whole Dinner Rolls
- 1 bunch Spinach
- 6 pieces Bacon, Cooked Until Almost Done
- 6 whole Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Pepper
- Feta Or Cheddar Cheese To Sprinkle (Optional)
Preparation
1. Preheat your oven to 325 F. Now you can slice the top of your dinner rolls right off or you can cut a hole in the top of your dinner rolls so they look more like a little bowl (this is what we did). However you do it, toss the tops aside and scoop out some of the bread until there is enough room to accommodate an egg.
2. Arrange your scooped out rolls on a baking sheet. No need to butter the tray. For the spinach version: Place 3 or 4 spinach leaves into the holes in the rolls so they stick out and look pretty. If you are using bacon you must pre-cook your bacon beforehand so it’s not raw when you put it inside the egg. It won’t cook correctly or in time if it’s raw. Add some bacon into the holes. Crack your raw eggs right into the roll. Sprinkle with a tiny bit of salt and bake in the oven until the eggs are set and the bread is toasted. This will take about 18-22 minutes (depending on how cooked you want your eggs to be).
3. Remove from oven and sprinkle with pepper and more salt if desired. Now is the time to sprinkle with cheese if desired. I suggest using feta or Parmesan for the spinach eggs and cheddar with the bacon egg. You can also leave them without cheese (as shown in the picture).
