Ingredients
  

  • 6 strips bacon cut in half
  • 1 package Hawaiian dinner rolls 12 rolls
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp dried Italian herbs
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¾ cup shredded cheese
  • 12 medium eggs
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°
  • Cut the bacon in half, to make 12 pieces. Cook them in a skillet over medium high heat until some of the fat is rendered out, but they are still pliable and a little bit shy of being crispy. Remember, they will continue to cook in the oven.
  • In a baking/casserole dish, place your dinner rolls(still connected). Using a pairing knife, cut a circle in the top of each roll and use your fingers to scoop out the centers of each, careful not to put a hole all the way through the bottom or sides. Use your index and thumb to press the sides in more and create a larger well.
  • Melt butter and mix in garlic powder, Italian herbs, salt and pepper. Brush all over the tops and inside wells of each roll.
  • At the bottom of each well, place 1 heaping tbsp of shredded cheese.
  • Top the cheese with ½ slice of bacon, packing it down to leave as much space as possible for the egg
  • Crack 1 egg into each well. it is fine if some of the white runs over
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the whites are mostly set but still a bit loose. Anything past this and the yolks will be overcooked.
  • Serve immediately
