Eggs and Bacon Bowls – perfect for breakfast, a weekend brunch or even lunch. These bowls are super simple to make, all you need are rolls, eggs and bacon.

I love weekends because I finally have time to make a decent breakfast and enjoy it with my husband. I love these egg bowls, they are quite different than my usual oatmeal breakfast. This breakfast is easy and delicious, not to mention impressive. It’s the perfect breakfast, perfect for a weekend brunch and you could even have this for lunch.

You could actually fill these up with any toppings you like. I filled mine with bacon of course, bocconcini cheese, eggs, and cherry tomatoes. If you’ve never had bocconcini cheese, it’s basically small mozzarella balls the size of an egg usually, or they even have the baby ones, which are the size of a cherry tomato. I love bocconcini, it’s perfect for salads too, especially a Calabrese salad. It’s not a salty cheese, so you will have to add salt and pepper to taste to these eggs.

As far as the bread, you’ll need some crusty rolls, which you need to cut the top off and just scoop out the middle. Very simple to make, and I think kids would really enjoy this type of breakfast.

I’ve made many similar eggs, you can find them in my Breakfast area. I can’t say I have a favorite, I love any type of breakfast.

    So Delicious…I used cheese buns, ready made bacon, mozzarella slices and added avocado slices. Definitely making this again and again. My whole family loved it. You can also,serve this as a great casual supper with a huge bowl of homemade soup. Good Saturday night meal when it is only you and yours!!! Yum.

      Hi Hicham,
      I think you misunderstood, the rolls are bought from the store, already baked, I just cut the tops off and scooped out the middle. They will get crustier in the oven as you bake them with the eggs inside.
