Kicking off 2018 with quite possibly the easiest recipe on Supergolden Bakes – baked eggs-in-a-hole – a bagel hole to be precise!
This ridiculously easy and delicious dish is ready in about 15 minutes including prep time and guaranteed to become a firm favourite.
I debated calling this recipe ‘toad in a hole’ which I believe translates as egg cooked in bread in the US… but ‘toad in a hole’ means something entirely different in the UK. Either way, it doesn’t sound like a very appetising recipe, I think we can all agree on that.
A nicer name for it might be ‘eggs in a nest’, or ‘eggs in the basket’ in which a hole is cut on a slice of bread to create the ‘nest’ and the bread is then buttered and fried. The bread is then flipped and an egg is added in the hole and then fried.
As someone who has watched Moonstruck, where such a breakfast is prepared memorably, I have always been a massive fan of eggs in a hole/basket/nest. Cooking the eggs-in-a-bagel-hole in the oven is fuss-free and you can easily prepare enough to feed a small crowd.
HOW TO MAKE SHEET PAN BAKED EGGS
Full measurements and instructions can be found on the printable recipe card at the bottom of the page. Please take a look at the steps and video before attempting this recipe!
Simply slice your bagels in half and enlarge their holes using a round cookie cutter. Butter generously on both sides, then place on a sheet pan lined with baking paper. The butter will form a sort of seal which will prevent the eggs from spilling out too much.
Carefully crack an egg in each of the holes, making sure the yolk stays intact, and bake for 12-15 minutes depending on how you prefer yours. Adding slices of prosciutto on the bagels adds a welcome salty crunch and a little truffle pesto or a drizzling of truffle oil will bring some extra zing!
Omit the prosciutto and use veggie Parmesan for a vegetarian version of this recipe – serve with some fried garlic mushrooms, wilted spinach or sliced tomatoes instead.

Do these freeze? If so for how long?
No this is not suitable for freezing am afraid
Those yolks! 😍 These photos are making me swoon!
Yeah I agree, toad in a hole just doesn´t sound appetizing…either way, this looks so good that it doesn´t really matter what you call it! Such a creative and tasty recipe 🙂
This looks ridiculously delicious. Truffle pesto? It’s fancy now. YES!
