Sheet Pan Egg-in-a-Hole with Bacon
Servings 4
Equipment
- Baking Sheet
Ingredients
- 8 slices of bacon
- 4 slices of bread, ½-inch thick
- 1 tbsp butter
- 4 eggs
- Sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste
- Fresh chives, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- Place the bacon on a baking sheet in a single layer. Place into the oven and bake until par-cooked, about 6-7 minutes. Transfer the bacon to some paper towels. Side Note: You can also par-cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat if you prefer.
- Coat the baking sheet with cooking spray if needed.
- Butter one side of each slice of bread, then use a 3-inch biscuit cutter to make a hole in the center of each bread slice. Place the bread butter side down on the baking sheet along with the buttered circles.
- Add two bacon slices to each slice of bread, then gently crack an egg into each hole.
- Place it in the oven and bake until the egg whites have set, about 10-12 minutes, turning the baking sheet halfway through baking.
- Remove from the oven and top with freshly chopped chives, season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper to taste. Serve immediately! Enjoy.
