Not your ordinary egg in a hole, these soft and slightly sweet KING'S Hawaiian Sweet Rolls are filled with a piece of bacon, sharp cheddar cheese, and an egg. Sprinkle on some salt and pepper, and bake to your desired egg texture. Don't forget a sprinkling of chives before indulging in the best breakfast sandwich!! Step-by-step photos help you make the perfect breakfast rolls! 

  • Total Time: 30 Minutes
  • Yield: 9 Sandwiches 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 9 KING'S HAWAIIAN® Original Hawaiian Sweet Rolls
  • 5 Slices of Bacon
  • 9 Small or Medium Eggs (For Large Eggs, See Note Below)
  • 1/2 cup Sharp Cheddar Cheese, Shredded
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Ground Pepper
  • 1/4 Teaspoon Salt
  • 1 Tablespoon Chopped Chives

Instructions

  1. On a sheet tray, place the bacon—ensuring the slices are not touching. Place it into the oven, and then turn the oven on to 350F/180C.
  2. While the oven is preheating and the bacon is par-baking, prepare the rest of the ingredients.
  3. Lightly spray a 9-inch square pan, and tear the 18-pack of rolls in half. Place the chunk of 9 rolls into the prepared pan. Use a knife to cut a hole out of the center of each roll. When cutting, remember: an egg has to fit into this hole, so make sure it's large enough.
  4. Shred cheddar cheese and chop chives. Set aside.
  5. After 10 minutes, the bacon should be 3/4 of the way cooked; take it out of the oven and place the bacon on a paper towel to drain excess fat. Cut each slice of bacon in half.
  6. Press one piece of bacon into each hole so that the bacon over hangs. Make sure to gently press the bacon down; this helps create more room for the egg.
  7. Gently sprinkle a bit of cheese in each hole, then carefully place each egg into the hole. Sprinkle the salt and pepper all over, then sprinkle remaining cheese.
  8. Bake for 14-19 minutes; I wanted more of jammy eggs as opposed to runny eggs. Mine were done at 17 minutes, but adjust the time accordingly to your preference. Ultimately, you just want to ensure the white is cooked. Sprinkle on chives and let cool for 5 minutes before cutting into individual sandwiches.

Equipment

Notes

Make-Ahead Option: Prepare just up to before the actual egg goes into the bread. Wrap in plastic wrap and store in the fridge. When ready to bake, add eggs, salt, and pepper. Bake accordingly. 

Reheat: Place in the oven at 300ºF for 10 minutes or microwave for 30 seconds. 

Doubling: Easily double the recipe to serve more people. I would add 5-10 minutes to the baking time and bake them in a 9" x 13" pan or sheet tray!
