Ingredients You’ll Need
- Thick slices of bread (sourdough or whole grain work best)

- Salt & pepper
- Fresh Brussels sprouts, shredded
- Carrots, grated (optional for color)
- Lemon juice or apple cider vinegar
- Dijon mustard
- Honey (for a touch of sweetness)
How to Make It
- Prepare the bread – Cut a circle in the center of each bread slice (using a cookie cutter or a glass).
- Assemble on the sheet pan – Place bread and bacon on a lined baking sheet. Drizzle bread lightly with olive oil or butter.
- Crack the eggs – Gently crack one egg into the hole of each bread slice. Season with salt and pepper.
- Bake – Bake at 400°F (200°C) for about 12–15 minutes, until eggs are set to your liking and bacon is crispy.
- Make the slaw – While baking, toss shredded Brussels sprouts and carrots with olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and pepper.
- Serve – Plate the egg-in-a-hole with bacon and a side of fresh slaw for crunch and brightness.
Tips for Success
- For runny yolks, check at 10–12 minutes; for firmer eggs, go up to 15 minutes.
- Use thick-cut bread so it holds the egg without getting soggy.
- Add red pepper flakes or chili oil for a spicy twist.
- Make it vegetarian by skipping the bacon and topping with avocado or cheese.
