Breakfast Bacon Bread Bowls.

Yeahhhhh.

I went there.

It’s no secret that I love bacon. Please, just gimme all the bacon.

And my latest obsession with all things breakfast (hello most important meal of the day!) is still goin’ strong.

So I thought the next breakfast I gave you should combine my all my true loves and obsessions.

Breakfast Bacon Bread Bowls is it!

I think these totally fit the bill. 😉

Rolls stuffed with eggs, bacon, and cheese?

I mean.

Come OOOOOON.

Breakfast Bacon Bread Bowls Recipe - Rolls w/ Bacon, Egg, Cheese (2)

Now I know what you might be thinking . . .

Breakfast Bacon Bread Bowls?! THOSE sound complicated, intimidating, and time consuming.

But they’re not.

I swear.

And I’m gonna tell you why in just a few quick and easy steps:

Step One: Prep your ingredients – 5 minutes

  • Smithfield Thick Cut Cherrywood Smoked Bacon <– HACK: DICE IT! Dicing it allows this delicious and smokey bacon (seriously this smells SO good) to cook faster.
  • Onion <– dice it
  • Rolls <– see video above, but basically you’re carving a circle in the top of the roll, then removing the top and some of the inside of the roll. HACK: use store bought rolls. They’re quick and delicious.

Step Two: Cook your filling – 7 minutes

  • Throw the prepped bacon and onion into a HOT pan <– cooking the bacon and onions on HIGH heat creates a faster cook time and crispy bacon.
  • Once cooked, you’ll stir in some whisked eggs <– because the pan is hot, these cook super fast
  • Stir in cheese, salt, and pepper

Step Three: Fill, Top, Broil, and Serve – 3 minutes

  • Fill: use a 1/4 cup measuring cup to place mixture into prepared rolls
  • Top: more cheese, please
  • Broil: melty cheese, please
  • Serve: sprinkle of parsley and red pepper flakes, optional, but delicious!

See? In THREE easy steps and a quick 15 minutes, you too can haveBreakfast Bacon Bread Bowls.

And I’m telling you, it’ll be the best 15 minutes ever spent.

Plus, you could absolutely double the recipe and feed a crowd (again, in 15 mins!!).

    Breakfast Bacon Bread Bowls Recipe - Rolls w/ Bacon, Egg, Cheese (14) I had a couple of day-old Panera bread bowls from the food pantry, and also a taste for breakfast foods. I’m so glad I found your recipe! Only changes were, I subbed “Mexican blend” shredded cheese, and used cilantro instead of parsley (what I had on hand), and baked for a few minutes, as the bowl is larger than rolls. The crushed red pepper made this really, really good!
