I can’t say enough great things about these wonderful egg bowls. They are so tasty and can be made a million different ways. This recipe is also kid friendly. You can have them choose their very own ingredients.
I was introduced to these lovely creations while on our recent trip to Paris. I noticed several bakeries having similar stuffed bread options that all looked delicious. Vacationing is a blessing and such a great experience; however, getting up early to beat the long crowds at tourist attractions is the downside. Knowing these special treats were just around the corner, made waking up early not so bad. Thinking of it, I was excited!
Here’s an important tip…Keeping the rolls in the refrigerator until baking will make the cutting process easier. I’ve added a list of alternative ingredients to help you in the creative process. You can prepare the mixture the night before and add it to the rolls in the morning. This can be helpful if you don’t have a lot of time to spend in the kitchen.
I’m not a big fan of breakfast food, so if you ever see these kind of recipes on my blog, they will definitely be worth your time. This is another winner, so you might want to consider making extra!
Ingredients
- 3 kaiser rolls (*preferably partially baked)
- 4 eggs
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons chives
- 2 – 3 tablespoons chopped bacon (2 slices)
- salt & pepper to taste
Alternative Ingredients
shallots; green onions; leeks; onions; parsley; tarragon; ham; sausage; pancetta; smoked salmon; crab meat; gruyere; feta; goat cheese; mozzarella; parmesan; red/green pepper; spinach; mushrooms and olives.
While combining all ingredients in a large bowl, preheat oven to 350. Cut a large square off the top of each roll and remove a good portion of the bread inside, but still leave enough to prevent leakage. Place rolls on a baking dish and put tops you cut to the side to heat in oven the last few minutes of baking. Add 2/3 cup of mixture in each roll. Bake in the oven for 40 – 45 minutes. If the egg mixture is still loose on top after this time, you can turn the broiler on for a few minutes.
*Your local bakery and supermarket on occasion “Parbake” their baked good products. It’s a cooking technique in which dough products are partially baked and frozen for storage. I specifically ask my supermarket baker for these kind of rolls. I’ve never had an issue purchasing them.
