These delectable Open Faced Egg and Canadian Bacon Rolls are made using dinner rolls.  The hollowed out rolls are topped with Colby-jack cheese, Canadian bacon and eggs.  They’re terrific for a tasty breakfast on the run or “brinner.”  They’re so easy to assemble the kids can help and the best part is; no utensils required!

Open Faced Egg and Canadian Bacon Rolls are Individual Sized

I love recipes that make individual serving size portions.  If you’ve been with me a while. you’ve likely seen my Baked French Eggs, or Loaded Bacon and Egg Hash Brown Muffins and my ever popular Nested Potato skins, just to name a few.  Perhaps it’s my love of entertaining or the fact that I have children who love to pick-up their food to eat it but, in general my muffin tins get a workout.  In thinking about that, I experimented with these hollowed out frozen dinner rolls to see if I could combine the bread with the filling to make a quick sandwich and these open-faced breakfast rolls were the result. They’re simple to make and absolutely delicious!

Preparation Tips

Being a frugal girl at heart, I like to pop the crumbs that are removed from the center of the rolls back into the freezer to use as fresh breadcrumbs in another recipe, so nothing goes to waste. You can make these with medium size or large eggs, just be aware that a large egg may overflow just a bit.  It’s not the end of the world and the egg will set in the oven so all ends well.  If that bothers you go with medium or a smaller version of large eggs.  Now, we all know Canadian bacon is really ham so if you prefer, thinly sliced ham would work beautifully, too. These easy little open-faced beauties are sure to become a family favorite on your breakfast table just  as they are on mine.

Ingredients

  • 6 frozen dinner rolls i.e. Sister Schuberts

  • 6 slices Canadian bacon
  • 6 medium or large eggs See Cook's note
  • Salt and black pepper

Instructions

  • Use a sharp paring knife to hollow out the center from the frozen rolls. Leaving a 1/2-inch order. Using your fingers press the interior of the rolls as flat as possible. (Pop the centers of the bread into a plastic storage bag and refreeze to use as breadcrumbs for another recipe.).
  • Brush the rolls with melted butter reserving some for after baking.
  • Sprinkle around 1 tsp of shredded cheese into the bottom of each roll. Top with a single slice of Canadian bacon. Press down.
  • Crack the egg into a measuring cup and carefully pour into the center. Don't panic if some overflows.
  • Sprinkle with salt and black pepper to your taste then top with the remaining shredded cheese.
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the eggs are cooked to your preferred level of firmness..
  • Brush with remaining butter and serve immediately.

Notes

When using large eggs for these rolls, some of the egg white may overflow. It will cook when in the oven, so don't panic. Otherwise, use medium eggs.

    I think this would also be good using either top or bottom of an English muffin.

    Do you have to let the rolls rise or un-thaw before baking?

      I find it’s easier to remove the centers when these rolls are still partially frozen but, you can bake them from frozen, yes. These rolls don’t require rise time, make sure you get the dinner rolls that only take 10 minutes or so to bake.

    Isn’t it difficult to hollow out the center of the roll when it is frozen?

      Actually, it’s not if you use a sharp knife.

    Being from Canada and owning a butcher shop, we disagree that Canadian bacon is ham! It may taste like ham, but authentic Canadian bacon is smoked back bacon!

      Every time I develop a recipe using what we in the US call Canadian bacon someone from the North always gets excited. I write recipes using the ingredients we have here. What’s called Canadian bacon in the US is really ham. I’m sure you do have bacon in Canada that’s much like our smoked bacon. No need to worry unnecessarily, we get it.

        Can you get the eggs really done? I don’t like runny yellow.

        Yes, just adjust the baking time cooking to your preference.
