No Washing Up Ham, Egg & Cheese Bread Bowls

“Excellent for feeding a military. You can also make forward, eat it along with your arms and I swear, there just isn’t a single dish or pan or utensil to be washed!”

In my subsequent life, I hope to be reborn with slim arms and lengthy, elegant fingers as a substitute of pudgy, midget arms. My pals name me “Child Arms”. Really! I do every part I can to keep away from “hand pictures”, however typically it simply must be accomplished.

Sufficient about my Child Arms, let’s put the main focus again on the meals. If I wrote this put up like my different posts, it might go on for pages as I ranted on and on about why I feel these No Washing Up Ham, Egg & Cheese Bread Bowls are so nifty. So I’m going to do each of us a favour and easily listing out the professionals and cons!

PROS

1. NO WASHING UP – no pots, no pans, no baking tray, no reducing board, no bowls. These are baked wrapped in foil which it’s worthwhile to do in any other case the bread roll burns earlier than the egg cooks. The one kitchen gear you’ll use is a knife to chop the highest off the rolls. For those who’re as lazy as me, you’ll simply run a dishcloth alongside the blade and put it proper again within the knife rack!

2. FAST TO MAKE – it is going to take you all of 4 minutes to assemble 4 to pop into the oven. Presumably 3 minutes. And in case you like your yolks actually runny like I do, these shall be out of the oven in 10 minutes.

3. EAT WITH YOUR HANDS – simply like a burger!

4. FEED A CROWD – FAST. You can also make a great deal of No Washing Up Ham, Egg & Cheese Bread Bowls in a single go – as many as you may slot in your oven!

5. MAKE AHEAD. Sure, you actually can! The one factor is to ensure the bread bowls are correctly lined with ham to cease the egg from seeping by to the bread. Simply assemble fully and wrap with foil, then depart them within the fridge till you want them. Then pop them within the oven!

6. VERSATILE. Get inventive! These are fairly boring – simply ham, eggs and cheese. Fill it with no matter you need! The one factor to make sure is that you just line the bread with ham so the egg doesn’t soak straight into the bread. I attempted making these with bacon as soon as however as a result of it’s thicker and never as pliable (particularly after you fry it), you may’t mould it into the bowl as effectively so I struggled to make sufficient area for even an egg, not to mention the rest.7. BUDGET. Ham is cheaper than bacon. And also you don’t want to make use of any fancy bread for this. Simply extraordinary bread rolls. Even stale is ok. As soon as stuffed and baked, you received’t be capable to inform if they’re contemporary or stale bread.
8. FOOD ON THE GO. As a result of you may eat this along with your arms, it’s nice for on the go! I used to be munching on this whereas wandering round packing up the props after taking the picture!

9. GREAT FOR A CAMP OUT. Are you able to think about how nice this may be cooked over a campfire?? Simply place it on the sting of the hearth close to (not on) sizzling coals. The foil traps the warmth effectively and it’ll cook dinner very quickly!

10. ONLY 339 CALORIES PER SERVING. Consider it. It’s only one bread roll, 1 egg, 1 small slice of ham and a couple of tbsp of cheese. Truly, I simply realised it’s lower than 339 energy as a result of I didn’t think about that the centre of the bread roll is eliminated.

11. SO, SO TASTY. Why I haven’t put this as #1 is past me!

“It is a good way to make use of up bread rolls which might be barely stale. As soon as stuffed and baked, nobody would ever be capable to inform whether or not the rolls are contemporary or not!”

CONS

1. Eerm….no greens? Although I DID add a sprinkle of parsley on the No Washing Up Ham, Egg & Cheese Bread Bowls. Isn’t that sufficient?

OK, so maybe I’m being fully pig-headed by not arising with extra cons. I’m the excitable sort and might get blindsided. So in case you’re the wise sort and might consider extra “cons”, depart a remark beneath and I’ll replace the listing!

Aren’t my wrapping expertise stunning? You need to see the presents I wrap! Properly, you received’t, as a result of I received’t ever be displaying you!

Don’t toss the bread you scoop out! Reserve it to make croutons or breadcrumbs. Or how about this Chicken and Spinach Bread Bake or this Creamy Bacon, Chicken and Broccoli Bread Bake?

Love to listen to what you suppose, or another ideas you might need for different fillings! Simply depart a remark beneath and I’ll you’ll want to reply :). – Johnsat x

Ingredients

  • 4 bread rolls (soft or crusty)
  • 4 small slices of ham , or 2 big ones cut in half
  • 4 eggs , at room temperature
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley , finely chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 180C/350F.
  2. Cut the tops off the bread rolls.
  3. Scoop out the centre and reserve (see notes for ideas to use). To be neat, use a small knife to cut a round outline before scooping out the centre.
  4. Line the bread bowl with a layer of ham. Try to use one whole piece if you can because then there is less chance of egg seeping through and being soaked up by the bread.
  5. Crack in an egg.
  6. Top each with 2 tbsp of mozzarella cheese and a sprinkle of parsley (optional).
  7. Put the top back on each roll. Wrap with foil and place in oven to bake for ~15 to 25 minutes. Take a peek at 20 minutes to check them. 20 minutes = runny yolks. 25 minutes + = just cooked yolks. (See notes for more information)
  8. Remove from oven, unwrap and serve immediately.

Notes

1. You need to use lunch-size bread rolls for this, not small dinner rolls as they are too small.
2. You can add whatever fillings you want. Just be sure to line the bread with ham otherwise the egg will soak into the bread.
3. I have tried this with bacon before but because it is less pliable than ham, I found that it didn’t work as well because I couldn’t mould it into the bread bowl very well which left less room for the egg. It might work better with bacon using a large bread roll.
4. SAVE THE BREAD you scoop out! Use them to make breadcrumbs or croutons. Or how about this Creamy Chicken Bacon and Broccoli Bread Bake or Chicken and Spinach Strata?
5. MAKE AHEAD: Use round thin slices of ham like what I use that fit into the bread bowl so it lines it neatly, then add egg and cheese and refrigerate until required and bake per recipe. It doesn’t work as well using shaved slices of ham because the ham doesn’t form a seal in the bread bowl.
6. I’ve had a few readers say that it took longer to cook for the egg to set. The cooking time will be impacted by the following:a) Your oven. Mine is a fan forced oven which cooks food faster than normal ovens.b) How many you are making – the more you are making, the longer it will take.c) How thick the bread bowl walls are. The thicker the wall, the longer it will take for the heat to get to the centre of the bread to cook the egg. I made mine quite thin – about 1cm/1/3″.d) The type of bread you are using. A dense bread like a sourdough will take longer. I used soft standard bread rolls.e) Whether the eggs are at room temperature or are cold, straight out of the fridge.
