Herbed Havarti & Sweet Pepper Egg in a Hole with Bacon

What’s better for a rainy Sunday breakfast than homemade bread perfectly toasted, a runny egg, melted Havarti cheese, with fresh vegies and herbs and a bit of bacon to top it off?


It’s a lazy, rainy Sunday morning (rain, in January? … odd but true). I tried to convince my kids to go out for breakfast with me, but they don’t want to leave the house. This is odd for my children … they are usually the ones trying to convince ME to go out for breakfast. It appears we are in the midst of a Sunday of oddities.

Fine then! I just made myself breakfast, and it was better than anything I would have gotten if we had gone out. My tummy is very happy now. Now that it’s done, I just noticed I didn’t salt or pepper my egg like I usually do, but there was no lack of flavor. I guess the bacon, cheese and herbs made up for it.

Herbed Havarti & Sweet Pepper Egg in a Hole with Bacon

Herbed Pepper Havarti Egg in a Hole with Bacon

  • Prep Time: 5 minutes
  • Cook Time: 7 minutes
  • Total Time: 12 minutes
  • Yield: 1 serving 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • For seasoning the pan: a clove of peeled garlic and a bit of butter

For each serving:

  • 1 slice of bread
  • 1 egg
  • 1 small sweet pepper, sliced (or bit of chopped bell pepper)
  • about 1/2 slice of bacon, chopped
  • a couple slices of Havarti cheese
  • a few small cherry tomatoes, halved if you like
  • a small sprig of fresh thyme & oregano (or other fresh herb)

Instructions

  1. Preheat a frying pan over medium heat. When it’s hot, rub the pan with just a bit of butter and the garlic clove. Save the garlic for another use.
  2. Take the slice of bread and cut a hole in the middle with a cookie cutter. Set aside the “hole” for toasting later.
  3. Set the bread in the pan and crack the egg into the hole. Reduce heat slightly, cover the pan and let the egg cook for a few minutes or until the egg is set on the bottom.
  4. Flip over the bread carefully and let cook for just a minute on the other set till the other side of the egg is set too.
  5. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray (I used my toaster oven baking sheet). Using a spatula, slide the egg & bread on a baking sheet and place slices of sweet pepper on top, then sprinkle with bits of bacon. Cover with slices of Havarti cheese and add the cherry tomatoes.
  6. Set the baking sheet in the oven and broil just until the cheese is melted.
  7. While the cheese is melting, toast the “hole” that you cut out of the bread in the frying pan, soaking up the remaining garlic and butter.
  8. Slide the cheesy egg in a hole onto a plate and sprinkle with fresh herbs. Set the toasted “hole” on the side and enjoy!

Yo had me at homemade bread. Well, maybe you had me at runny egg. Perhaps on third thought, you had me at melted Havarti…and then there’s the veggies, herbs and bacon – plus a little heart chapped cut out toad in a hole?

Oh man, Sunday with you would be amazing. I can’t wait to try this out.
