Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 4 small round bread rolls
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Use a sharp knife to carefully slice off the tops of the bread rolls and hollow out the insides to create bread bowls. Set the tops aside for later.
Brush the inside of each bread bowl with melted butter. Place the bread bowls on a baking sheet and toast them in the preheated oven for 5-7 minutes until slightly crisp.
Meanwhile, bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil. Gently lower the eggs into the boiling water using a spoon and cook them for 6 minutes for soft-boiled eggs. Once cooked, transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool slightly.
Carefully peel the soft-boiled eggs, being cautious as the yolks will still be runny.
Place one peeled egg into each toasted bread bowl. Sprinkle each egg with a pinch of salt, black pepper, grated Parmesan cheese, and chopped chives.
Serve immediately with the reserved bread tops on the side for dipping.
