Spinach-Artichoke Egg in a Bagel Hole

(4)

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!).

  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.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
