If you're looking for a different way of using bread and egg to make your breakfast, these triple layers egg in bread is one of the perfect option!  They are made of 3 layers of bread of choice, drizzled with bolognese sauce, sprinkled with grated cheddar cheese and top with an egg.

Actually, I don't have any idea how to name these satisfying cheesy, rich in pizza flavored egg based breakfast.  I finally decided that these dish is better be named as it is - the triple layers egg in bread!

I made this for our  today's breakfast.  I had store-bought white wholemeal bread that was still not yet finished, as we both don't prefer to eat them with jam or nutella and peanut butter spread.  The loaf must be turned into something else -  such as bread pudding, egg muffins with read, fried egg bread or "roti telur" , sardine rolls, sandwiches or to be eaten with savory gravy such as chicken curry, sardines spicy gravy (sambal) or spiced fava bean (kacang pool).  But the point is, they will never be eaten alone or even with any kind of spreads!

If you follow my blog, you'd know that I've been on an egg based breakfast idea over the past few months.  I always love to have egg in my breakfast and instead of the traditional plain egg sandwich and half-boiled egg, I would prefer something with more color and flavor! If you're of my type, you would undoubtedly happy to have these as your breakfast. Trust me..

The idea of the making is pretty simple as its name - you have to make a hole in the center of your bread and later you'll crack in the egg in the hole.  Need not to be stress of making the perfect one because it is a freestyle - you're going to use your own creativity to decorate them yah!  And instead of making a hole, you would probably just use a small round shape bottle lid, which is about the size of the egg ring and press it down at the center of the bread to flatten the area.  If you prefer the latter, I suggest its best to use thicker bread slice so that the height is sufficient enough or unless the egg will spill to side.  These amazingly delicious egg in bread aren't taking so much time to prepare and you are free to decorate them with your ingredients of choice to make them look more appetizing and luxurious!

I don't have large round shaped cookie cutter, so I used the lid of my mini grinder to create the hole at the bread.  Alternately, you may also place a small plate at the center of the bread and cut along the shape of the plate by using a sharp knife.

For healthier version, replace white bread with wholewheat bread to give you full satisfaction of your hunger with more fiber intake.

Triple Layer Egg in Bread

Utensil you will need:

Large round shape cookie cutter / round shaped bottle lid

Ingredients:

3 slices of bread

1 medium sized egg

bolognese / marinara sauce

1/4 Holland / large onion (sliced)

shredded cheddar cheese

crushed black pepper/ black pepper powder

fine salt

parsley flakes

vegetable oil / butter 

Methods:

1. Preheat oven at 160ºC or 320ºF.
2. Create a hole at the center of a slice of the bread by using large cookie cutter/  round shaped bottle lid.
3. Grease the baking tray with vegetable oil/ melted butter. (If you have baking or parchment paper you can place them on the baking tray.
4. Place a slice of bread on the tray, spread a bout a tablespoon of bolognese/marinara sauce on top.  Then place the onion slices on top and covered the bread surface with shredded cheddar cheese.
5. Put another slice of bread on top and repeat step 3.
6. Place the bread slice with the hole in the center on top.  Spread bolognese/ marinara sauce on the bread surface.  Lastly, crack an egg in the bread hole.  The egg may spill a little bid but don't freak out because this is quite normal.  Just make sure not to use a large sized egg unless the hole you make is big enough.
7. Lastly, sprinkle some crushed black pepper, parsley flakes and salt on top of the egg.
8. Bake for about 30 minutes until the white egg is set.  Serve immediately.

Step 1: Make a hole at the center of 1 slice of bread

Step 2 : Spread the first layer with sauce and sprinkle with sliced onion and shredded cheddar cheese

Step 3 : put the second layer of the bread on top of the first layer

Step 4 : again, spread with sauce and sprinkle with sliced onion and shredded cheddar cheese on top

Step 5 : place the bread with the hole on top

Step 6 : spread sauce on the bread surface, crack in an egg in the bread hole and sprinkle with salt, crushed black pepper and parsley flakes on top

If you noticed, from step 1 until step 5 I assembled the layers on my working board.  After that which is before I cracked in the egg in the bread hole only I transferred them on my baking tray.  This is actually double work, for easier method, do assemble you bread layers directly on your baking tray okay.

#TIPS#

Do not bake with high temperature as you 'll the bread and the egg will not has sufficient time to properly cooked.  You may prolong the baking time until your egg is set according to your preference.

If you don't prefer to eat half cooked egg yolk, you may fry the egg first in a frying pan and later you can place the fried egg in the bread hole and have the bake for few minutes to melt the cheese and to gives crispiness of the bread.

Again, if the bread hole isn't big enough, I suggest to use smaller egg size to prevent the egg from spilling to the outside.
