It’s an all-in-one breakfast, thanks to the kaiser buns being used as bread bowls, which also means you don’t have to toast bread or even wash a skillet!

Ingredients

  • 4 kaiser rolls (about 4 inches/10 cm diameter)
  • 4 slices Black Forest ham
  • 4 eggs
  • Pinch each salt and freshly ground pepper
  • ½ cup (125 mL) shredded Cheddar cheese
  • ¼ cup (60 mL) roasted red pepper salsa

Instructions

  • Step 1

    Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside. Halve rolls horizontally; set tops aside.

  • Step 2

    Hollow out bottom of rolls, leaving about 1/2-inch (1 cm) border all around. (Reserve hollowed-out bread for another use.) Place bread bowls on prepared pan.

  • Step 3

    Arrange slice of ham in bottom of each bowl. Crack 1 egg into each bread bowl. Season with salt and pepper; top with cheese.

  • Step 4

    Bake until cheese is melted, egg whites are set and yolks are cooked to desired doneness, approximately 20 to 25 minutes. Add reserved tops to baking sheet during last 5 minutes of baking time. Top with salsa and serve with toasted tops.

Tips:

• Use hollowed-out bread to make bread crumbs, croutons, stuffing or bread pudding.

• Garnish with chopped fresh chives or parsley if desired.

• Use mild, medium or aged Cheddar cheese, or try smoked Cheddar cheese for extra flavour.
