Spinach Artichoke Egg in a Bagel Hole

Prep Time:30 minutes Cook Time: 45 minutes Servings: 4 minutes

This riff on egg-in-a-hole, where a hole is cut into a slice of bread to hold and cook an egg, uses a bagel instead—so the hole’s already built in. The spinach-and-artichoke dip underneath the egg helps hold it in place and adds a creamy element to this easy breakfast (or breakfast for dinner!).

Ingredients:
  • 2 (3-ounce) whole-wheat bagels, split
  • 1/2 cup prepared spinach and artichoke dip
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese, divided
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground pepper
Directions:
  1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Place bagel halves, cut-sides up, on the prepared baking sheet. If the holes are small, use your fingers to widen them to 1 1/2-inch diameter.
  2. Spoon 2 tablespoons dip into each hole; sprinkle each dip portion with 1 1/2 teaspoons Parmesan. Press down with a spoon to make a small indentation. Crack 1 egg into each bagel hole. Sprinkle the eggs with salt, pepper and the remaining 2 tablespoons Parmesan.
  3. Bake until the whites are set and the yolks are runny, 10 to 12 minutes. Using a spatula, transfer each bagel half to a plate.
