Description

This Egg in a Bagel Hole with Cheese & Prosciutto is a fun and slightly more grown-up take on the childhood classic “egg in a hole.” Buttery, crispy bagels filled with gooey gruyere cheese, salty prosciutto, and perfectly cooked eggs. Sign me up and pass the mimosas!

Ingredients

Scale

3 bagels, halved (any flavor)
2 tablespoons melted butter
6 slices gruyere or cheddar cheese (the deli-style sliced cheese works best here)
6 slices prosciutto
6 large eggs
Salt and pepper
Fresh chives

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Using a small biscuit cutter, cut out the center of the bagels to make the holes larger (about 3 inches in diameter).
Brush the cut sides of the bagels with the melted butter and place them cut-side down on the baking sheet. I also line up some of the bagel cut outs.
Line each bagel hole with a slice of cheese and a slice of prosciutto, tucking them in and around until they fit.
Crack an egg into the center of each bagel hole, on top of the cheese and prosciutto slices – they will form a sort of wall around the egg to keep it from leaking out.
Season the egg with salt and pepper and then transfer to the oven for 10-15 minutes, depending on how you like your eggs cooked. My whites were cooked with a slightly runny egg around the 12 minute mark.
Serve while warm and garnished with fresh chives.
