This delicious breakfast egg recipe and photo was shared with my by Karen Calanchini, Food Stylist and Photographer, of Redding, CA.

This is a fun breakfast that the kids or grandkids love to help with. I like my yolks to be just set, but not runny. That way, I can pick it up and eat it out of my hand. Our grandkids prefer it that way, as well.

Crusty Dinner Rolls with Baked Eggs and Herbs

Recipe Type: Eggs, Sourdough, Brunch & Breakfast
Yield:
1 baked egg roll
Prep time: 10 min

Cook time: 25 min
 

Ingredients:

Crusty sourdough rolls (as many as you need)
1 large
egg (for each roll)
Fresh chopped herbs of your choice (I used chives and parsley)

Butter (for spreading inside of each roll and a pat on top)
Coarse salt or sea salt and freshly-ground black pepper
Sweet paprika
Grated Parmesan-Reggiano cheese


Preparation:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Using a bread knife, slice a thin piece off of the top of each roll, lightly butter; set aside. 

Being very careful, pull small chunks of bread out of the center of each roll, until you have a space large enough for one (1) egg. Butter the inside of the roll, sprinkle a little parmesan cheese inside, and a then a pinch of chopped herbs. 

Crack an egg into each roll. Sprinkle with fresh herbs, a dash of paprika, and a pat of butter. Season with salt and pepper, and then sprinkle with parmesan cheese.

baked eggs ready for baking

Place the roll with the egg on a baking sheet lined with non-stick foil, and place into the oven. Bake until the eggs are set and roll is toasted about 25 minutes.  At 20 minutes, place the set aside bread tops on the baking sheet and bake for 5 more minutes. Remove from oven.

Serve with fresh fruit and crispy bacon slices.
