Baked egg and prosciutto in bread bowls
Background
I've always loved an egg & bacon roll (often with melted cheese) for breakfast or brunch, but it’s not the healthiest meal around! So I thought I’d make these baked egg and prosciutto in bread bowls, using gluten-free rolls and no cheese. It’s certainly a healthier version, but do add some grated cheese if you like (or a layer of grilled pepper, or a few spinach leaves etc). Serve each portion with a crispy salad or wrap it in foil and take it with you in your lunch-box to work or on a picnic!
Ingredients
- 4 bread rolls (can be gluten-free)
- 4 slices of prosciutto
- 4 eggs
- 1 Tbsp chopped fresh herb of your choice ( parsley, basil, chives etc)
- Optional: grated cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C.
- Cut off the top third off the rolls - these will be the lids.
- Scoop out the soft bread centre, leaving about 1cm rim. (Make breadcrumbs or croutons from the soft bread).
- Rubs some olive oil or dairy-free spread inside the bread bowls then line them with a layer of the prosciutto. Crack in an egg.
- Scatter some cheese on top, if used.
- Put the rolls in a baking tray and bake for 10 minutes - if the rolls are brown, wrap the tray with foil and bake for a further 10-15 minutes, depending on how runny/solid you like your egg yolk.
- Meanwhile, put the lids on another baking sheet and bake them for 5-10 minutes, until golden.
- Serve the bread bowls with herbs scattered over the eggs, topped with the lids.
