Ingredients

  • 1 crusty bread roll
  • 1 egg
  • Large handful chopped fillers (broccoli, tomato, mushroom, etc)
  • 1 tablespoon of cream
  • 1 small handful of shredded Gruyere
  • Sprinkle of thyme

Preparation

Step 1

Pre-heat oven to 390°F.
Cut off the top of the roll and scoop out excess bread.
Chop up your fillings into small pieces.
Put cheese and toppings into your newly crafted bread bowl.
Crack your egg into the bread bowl. Try not to break the yolk.
Pour the cream over the egg.
Sprinkle the thyme into the bowl.
Fill cheese and extra fillings to the top.
Cover your bowl with the top of the bread and wrap it in tin foil.
Bake in oven for 20-30 minutes depending on how you like your egg: 20 minutes if you want a runny yolk, 25 minutes if you prefer a soft yolk or 30 minutes if you want a fully cooked egg.
Once you’ve removed your bowl from the foil, sprinkle the inside with salt and pepper.
