Ingredients
4 bread rolls
4 small slices of ham
4 eggs
Β½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 tbsp fresh parsley or chopped chives
Β½ cup baby spinach or chopped kale
ΒΌ tsp sea salt
green onions for garnish
Instructions
First Step: Preheat your oven to 180Β°C (350Β°F). Slice off the tops of the bread rolls and carefully scoop out the centers, leaving about a 1/4 inch thick shell. Reserve the scooped bread for other uses like breadcrumbs or croutons.
Second Step: Place a slice of ham inside each hollow bread bowl, pressing it gently to cover the interior completely. This layer acts as a barrier to prevent the egg from soaking into the bread, which helps avoid sogginess.
Third Step: If desired, add a layer of baby spinach or chopped kale over the ham for added nutrition and texture.
Fourth Step: Crack one egg into each prepared bread bowl. Sprinkle approximately 2 tablespoons of shredded cheese over the egg. Season with a pinch of sea salt or your preferred herbs to enhance the flavor.
Fifth Step: Place the filled bread bowls on a baking sheet. Optionally, cover each loosely with aluminum foil to prevent excessive browning. Bake for 15 to 25 minutes. For runny yolks, aim for about 15-20 minutes; for fully cooked yolks, bake 25 minutes or more, adjusting based on your oven and bread roll thickness.
Final Step: Remove the bread bowls from the oven and let cool briefly. Garnish with chopped green onions, parsley, or cracked black pepper if desired. Serve warm straight from the bread bowl for a convenient and satisfying meal.
