What you need
- 1 day-old white loaf (baton-style or slightly dried)
- 4 eggs
- 100 g boiled-smoked sausage
- 80 g hard cheese
- 20 g softened butter
- Pinch of salt, to taste
- Fresh dill or parsley, for serving
How to make it
Prep the bread cups: slice the loaf into thick rounds, about 3–4 cm each. Carve out the centers and leave sturdy walls and a base, roughly 1–1.5 cm thick, so each slice becomes a little hollow. Brush the inside with softened butter for a crisp shell and a rich edge.
Fill them: dice the sausage into small cubes and drop a spoonful into each bread cup. Crack one egg into every hollow, keeping the yolk intact. Salt lightly. Coarsely grate the cheese and cover the tops so it melts into a generous cap.
Bake: heat the oven to 180 °C. Set the bread cups on a baking sheet (parchment makes cleanup easy). Bake for 15–20 minutes, until the whites are set and the cheese has melted and picked up a little color. Keep an eye on the edges; if they rush ahead, tent with foil for the first 10 minutes.
Serve it right
Bring them to the table hot, finished with chopped dill or parsley. A crisp salad or a few pickles on the side hits the right contrast and keeps the plate lively.
What it actually tastes like
In testing, the bread toasted to a gentle crunch, the cheese went glossy and pulled into golden spots, and the egg set while staying tender. The sausage brought a little smoke and juiciness. The combo lands exactly where a hearty breakfast should.
Smart tip
For a smooth, stretchy cheese layer, grate on the coarse side and spread it evenly so it melts in one uniform blanket rather than scorching in patches. A light butter slick inside the bread keeps everything supple and amplifies the flavor of the filling.
