Ingredients
- 4 round bread rolls
- 4 eggs
- 2–3 sprigs of spring onions, chopped
- 100g cheese (grated mozzarella or your favorite cheese)
- 120g ham, diced
- 2 cucumbers, sliced
- 1 tomato, diced
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon butter (for brushing the rolls)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Rolls
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
- Slice the tops off the rolls and carefully hollow out the insides, leaving a thin border to create a bowl shape.
- Melt the butter and brush the inside of each hollowed-out roll for a golden and crispy texture after baking.
Step 2: Assemble the Pizza Filling
- In a bowl, mix the diced ham, chopped spring onions, grated cheese, mayonnaise, and tomato paste until creamy.
- Spoon this filling into the hollowed-out rolls, filling them about three-quarters of the way.
Step 3: Add the Eggs
- Carefully crack one egg into each roll, ensuring the yolk rests on top of the filling. If your rolls are small, you can whisk the eggs beforehand or just use the yolk.
Step 4: Bake the Pizza Buns
- Place the rolls on a baking tray and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the eggs are set, and the rolls are golden and crispy.
Step 5: Prepare the Fresh Toppings
- While the pizza buns bake, slice the cucumbers and dice the tomato for a refreshing garnish.
Step 6: Serve
- Once baked, let the pizza buns cool slightly. Top with cucumber slices and diced tomato for extra crunch. Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
- For a vegetarian option, skip the ham and add sautéed veggies like mushrooms or bell peppers.
- If you like spice, sprinkle in some chili flakes or add a dash of hot sauce to the filling.
- These pizza buns are best enjoyed fresh but can be reheated in an oven to retain their crispiness.
