Egg in a bun in the oven

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 20 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   Prepare all the necessary products. Take homemade eggs, or at least CO - such eggs are not only large and tasty, but they also usually have a bright orange yolk and your dish will also turn out very beautiful. A wheat bun is suitable, not sweet, with a neutral taste of white bread. Any cheese: hard varieties, semi-hard ones, as well as mozzarella and even blue cheese are suitable.

2. STEP 2

   

   The bun does not have to be very fresh and soft; on the contrary, it is easier to cut a bun that has already begun to go stale. In the center of the loaf, use a sharp knife or a sharp-edged spoon (such as an ice cream scoop) to make a hole approximately large enough to hold 1 egg.

3. STEP 3

   

   Cut the butter into cubes and place in the cavity of the bun. You can replace butter with any vegetable oil and use a silicone brush to grease the inside of the bun. For a more satisfying option, you can also add pieces of bacon, sausage, mushrooms, or even chicken or meat.

4. STEP 4

   

   Wash the egg very well. This must be done, because... Eggshells contain a huge number of bacteria. It is best to wash the eggs with hot water and use a special product and a brush. Carefully, so that the yolk remains intact, beat the egg into the recess in the bun. However, it is not at all necessary to keep the yolk intact - do it to your liking. You can beat the egg with a fork in a separate bowl and then pour it into the bun.

5. STEP 5

   

   Salt the egg. At this stage, you can pepper it or add some of your favorite seasonings: garlic powder, a pinch of Provençal herbs or paprika - it’s a matter of taste!

6. STEP 6

   

   Grate the cheese and sprinkle the egg on top. If you have blue cheese, just break it into small pieces; if you have mozzarella, tear it with your hands. Bake the bun with the egg in an oven preheated to 180 degrees for about 15-20 minutes until the desired yolk density.

7. STEP 7

   

   Serve this dish for breakfast with fresh seasonal vegetables and herbs. Bon appetit!

Instead of traditional scrambled eggs for breakfast today, I made an egg in a bun for my husband. It cooks very quickly. I’ll dry the crumb from the bun when I cook the cutlets, it will be useful to me. It turned out to be a delicious, satisfying, complete breakfast. The husband was pleased. Thanks to the author for the recipe!
