Bacon and Spinach Baked Eggs in Bread Bowls

Author Karen @ The Tasty Bite

Ingredients

  • 4 crusty bread rolls 4 inches in diameter
  • 6 slices turkey bacon diced
  • 1 large shallot diced
  • ½ cup fresh baby spinach leaves
  • 8 large eggs whisked
  • ¼ tsp each salt and pepper or to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350F.
  • Cut a thin slice off the top of each roll. Scoop out the bread inside (save for another use) and set the bread bowls aside on a baking sheet.
  • In a small skillet, cook turkey bacon over medium heat until crispy and browned, stirring occasionally.
  • Add shallots to the skillet and saute until they are softened, about 3 minutes.
  • Add spinach leaves, season with salt and pepper, and cook until the spinach leaves are wilted, about 1 minute. Let cool.
  • Stir eggs into the cooled mixture and pour into prepared bread shells to ¾ full.
  • Bake 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are puffed and the eggs are set.

Notes

*If the bread bowls are toasted and the eggs are still not set, cover them loosely with aluminum foil and continue baking until the eggs are cooked through.
*Depending on the size of the rolls you use, you might have to make more or less egg filling.
