These bread bowls look terrific on the table and are easy to make ahead for brunch, or a quick family breakfast on a Saturday. Make it from scratch, or use frozen hashbrowns for simplicity. This recipe is also delicious with sweet potato hash.
Ingredients
- 1 x 4 pack Labrea Take and Bake Torta Rolls
- 10 oz. sage flavored sausage meat
- 10 oz. frozen hash browns or red potatoes
- 1 bell pepper, diced
- 1 red onion, diced
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons corn starch
- 6 large organic eggs
Preparation
- If making your own hash browns, scrub and then finely dice your potatoes, leaving the skin on. Add to a pot of well salted boiling water and cook until tender. Drain and allow to cool slightly.
- In a large skillet, brown the sausage meat. When some of the fat has released, add the peppers and onions and cook for 1 minute until slightly al dente (they will finish cooking in the oven). Leave to cool slightly.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Adjust your racks to the middle of the oven.
- Slide off the tops of all the Torta rolls, giving you about a 1-inch lid. Use clean hands to press in the bread to the bottom of the roll to create a cavity for your filling. Set the lids aside.
- In a large bowl, gently mix the cooled sausage mixture, hash browns, paprika, garlic powder, corn starch and 2 of the eggs. Just toss gently together without breaking down the potato too much.
- Split the mixture between the rolls pressing down slightly to fill the cavity leaving a bit of space at the top for the egg.
- Arrange them on a baking tray and gently crack an egg on top of each one.
- Sprinkle the cheese on top of the egg, arrange the lids face up in the spaces and gently place in the oven to cook.
- Bake for approx. 20 minutes (15 minutes covered in foil) until the eggs have cooked to your ideal consistency – sometimes a minute or two under the broiler will help the last bit of egg-white set.
- Remove from the oven, sprinkle with chopped herbs and replace the lids to allow the diners to be amazed when they remove it and see that stretchy, cheesy, pretty egg inside!
