Ingredients

Egg Mixture

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • ½ red onion, diced (about ½ cup)
  • ½ yellow bell pepper, diced (about ½ cup)
  • ½ red bell pepper, diced (about ½ cup)
  • 8 slices thick-cut bacon, cooked and crumbled (reserve some for topping)
  • 6 large eggs, whisked
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Bread Bowls

  • 4 bread bowls, or 4-5 inch rolls--we use kaiser rolls
  • 4 tablespoons butter melted
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon dried parsley

Toppings

  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese, divided
  • ¼ cup diced tomatoes, for topping
  • parsley, for topping

Instructions

Egg Mixture

  • In a frying pan, melt butter over medium heat, add onions, peppers, and cook until soft (about 5-8 minutes). Stirring occasionally.
  • Transfer onions and peppers to a bowl and set aside.
  • Use a paper towel to wipe out the pan.
  • In a medium bowl combine eggs and salt. Whisk until combined.
  • To the same frying pan over medium heat, add egg mixture. Use a rubber spatula to pull the egg into pillowy curds.
  • Once the eggs are cooked, add the onions, peppers, and cooked bacon and fold them together.
  • Tent the egg mixture to keep warm and set aside.

Bread Bowls

  • Place an oven rack at the bottom setting and set the oven to low broil (about 450°F).
  • Place the bread rolls on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Cut the top of each bread roll off and scoop out the insides (leaving the bottom intact).
  • In a small bowl combine butter, salt, garlic powder, and parsley.
  • Brush the rolls on the outside and inside with the butter mixture.
  • Transfer the pan to the bottom rack and broil for 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and slightly crispy.
  • Remove from oven and add ¼ of the egg mixture into the center of each bread bowl. Top with ¼ of the cheese and place back into the oven on the low broil setting for 4-5 more minutes or until cheese is hot and bubbly.
  • Serve the breakfast bread bowls with diced tomatoes and parsley, for garnish.
