Eggs in a Bun – Using leftovers for a delicious breakfast

Holidays are coming! When you’re on cooking duty during Christmas you might serve some buns along one of your meals. Usually most of these buns are among the leftovers and drying out pretty soon. That problem is solved by now! These eggs in a bun are your perfect hangover solution for those leftovers. You won’t believe how good these buns taste on the BBQ. Perfect for brunch if you ask me.

It seems like I’m sharing some easy meals lately. The smoked chocolate I shared last week is just as easy to make as this one. The kids are able to help and will love too!. Just make sure they don’t hurt them while putting them on the grid. I don’t want your pitmaster trainee get hurt while cooking their breakfast.

People following for a while might have seen this recipe on this site earlier. I’ve made them a couple of times since then just because they are that easy to make! They are a perfect starter when you wake up early in the morning for a low and slow session. It brings you enough energy to keep going until it’s time for an early aperitif. Last time I decided to take some new picturers since the ones I made before were a bit sloppy. I think these ones bring more honor to the recipe.

Eggs in a bun: 3 versions

First time I made these I had a day off and stuck with some leftover buns, eggs and bacon, … I had seen this idea on a BBQ forum I’m following and thought it would be nice to give it a try. First time I made three slightly different basic versions using what I had in the fridge. A a regular one with only eggs in a bun, another one with scrambled eggs and chili powder and the last one with cheese on top.  But you could go as creative as you want with these eggs in a bun. Try adding some mushrooms, bell peppers, hot peppers, … or whatever you prefer in the morning. This time I made two since I had only two buns left…

Go outside and have fun!

I am aware these are oven convertable too (like all of my recipes). Yet I would encourage you to go out and light a fire! Like most of the time the addition of a slight touch of woodsmoke brings an extra depth. The eggs get really tasty when smoked properly. Plus you could start cooking your lunch or dinner while eating breakfast. How cool is that. All three versions passed the test, although I got lost in drinking a delicious cup of coffee and reading in a magazine so the intended soft boiled version turned into a hard boiled one. Let it be a lesson I learnd for you: “If you want a soft boiled egg, watch the time!” Luckily one of them was still runny. That’s how I like them best.

Thank you for sharing interest in the things I bring. I hope to hear your voice (or at least read what you would say) via social media and/or comments below. I tend to be happy with some extra promotion too. So if you’ve liked reading this post or liked the recipe I’d be happy to see some sharing love.
