Ingredients

Rolls:

12 savory or sweet dinner rolls, attached at the hip! (I like Hawaiian's here)

Cooking spray (optional)

Filling:

10 strips cooked bacon, chopped

1/4 cup habanero nacho cheese sauce (I like Mrs. Renfro's Ghost Pepper Nacho Cheese Sauce here)

1/2 cup shredded Cheddar and pepper jack blend (regular Monterey Jack is fine), then chopped

12 medium eggs

Topping:

4 tablespoons salted butter, melted

1 tablespoon everything bagel seasoning

2 tablespoons grated Parmesan

Hot sauce, to serve (I like Texas Pete or chipotle flavored Tabasco here)

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. For the rolls: Place the rolls on a nonstick-foil-lined baking sheet or in a baking dish with the sides and bottom coated with cooking spray. With a serrated paring knife, carve out a wide circle on the top of each, cutting down and leaving about 1/2-inch of bread at the bottom. (You need to keep the bottom sturdy, so you don't want to cut all the way to the bottom.) Get your fingers in there and pull out the plug of bread. Press down the bottom with your fingers, leaving room for your filling.
  3. For the filling: Evenly divide the bacon into the recesses in the bread. In a medium bowl, mix the nacho cheese sauce with the Cheddar-jack blend. Divide evenly and spoon or pipe into each recess above the bacon. Crack an egg into each cavity.
  4. For the topping: Brush the tops of the rolls with the butter, then sprinkle with the everything bagel seasoning and Parmesan.
  5. Bake until the eggs are done and the rolls are golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Allow to cool for a few minutes, then cut apart and serve with a shake of hot sauce.

Made a test batch with 4 kings Hawaiian rolls but changed things up a little. Used store bought bacon pieces, then grated sharp cheddar, then beat an extra large egg with a small splash of cream and poured mixture into each well. Added just a little more cheese to the top. That was a mistake and I love cheese. It made the egg mixture too gooey and it didn’t want to set up when cooking. Finished the top per the recipe with melted butter, parm and everything but bagel. Ended up having to cook it for 31 minutes to get the egg to set up. Also had to tent with foil as the tops started to get too crunchy. I’ll make this again with minor adjustments as noted here. Every other month we get together with friends and neighbors for a pitch in brunch. This is a perfect dish for that occasion.
