I think everyone knows what an egg in a basket is, but in case you haven't had the pleasure of being introduced to one, it's a piece of bread, hole in center, egg cracked into the center and fried on a pan. SImple, quick, and get's your bread and egg fix out of the way. My only problem with this hole in bread, is that's its called an egg in a basket. A basket has depth to it, if I am not mistaken, I mean even if it's shallow it has a certain shape to be called a basket. I am no basket expert, or weaver, or have any idea about the Longaberger craze, but I do know a basket when I see one. Soooo, this is why I have reinvented the "Egg in a Basket", to really look like one, and have renamed the original to "Egg in a bed". Ok, now that I have gotten that clear. I present to you.....
Egg in a Basket
Obviously, you can add whatever your heart desires to this, and I have experimented with Mushrooms, different cheeses, this one here, of course has some bacon that I layered on the bottom.... because I can....because it's a real BASKET!!!!!!!
What you will need:
Dinner rolls, as many as you choose ( I like softer ones, since they do get crusty when you cook them)
Eggs, large, one for each roll
Mixed herbs, chopped, such as, parsley, chives etc..
cream, 1 teaspoon for each roll
Salt and pepper
Parmesan cheese, grated, as much as you want to sprinkle on each roll, or whatever cheese you desire
Slice off top of each dinner roll and gently remove some bread until there is a hole large enough to accommodate an egg. Arrange rolls on a baking sheet. Reserve tops. Crack an egg into each roll. Top each egg with some herbs and a bit of cream. Season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with Parmesan. Bake in a 350 degree oven until eggs are set and bread is toasted 20 to 25 minutes. After eggs have cooked for 20 minutes, place bread tops on baking sheet and bake until golden brown (that step is not necessary, if you are satisfied with the bread top not baked). Let sit 5 minutes.
These are great for Brunches and larger breakfast crowds just set them all up on a pan fill them up, bake and done, and they are also easy enough for just one person, but I wouldn't know that, because I would never make just one filled with bacon, eggs and cheese just for little ol' me, nope, never!!!
Enjoy.
