Sheet Pan Egg-in-a-Hole
A quick classic that comes together right on a sheet pan!!! Less mess, less fuss and just way easier than the stovetop version!
Is it just me, or do eggs just taste better when it’s fried in a hole of a slice of bread?
It’s not just me, right?
And does it not taste better with bacon and freshly grated Parmesan?
It’s not rocket science, guys.
It’s a known fact that this is way better.
And it’s even better when you make it right on a sheet pan.
No flipping. No fuss. No nothing.
Sheet Pan Egg-in-a-Hole
A quick classic that comes together right on a sheet pan!!! Less mess, less fuss and just way easier than the stovetop version!
Ingredients
- 12 slices bacon
- 6 slices bread, 1/2-inch thick
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 6 large eggs
- 6 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan
- 1 ½ teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Place bacon in a single layer onto a baking sheet. Place into oven and bake until par-cooked, about for 5-7 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
- Lightly oil a baking sheet or coat with nonstick spray.
- Using a 3-inch biscuit cutter, make a hole in the center of each bread slice.
- Butter one side of the bread slices. Place the bread onto the prepared baking sheet, buttered side down.
- Add bacon slices and eggs, gently cracking the eggs into each hole and keeping the yolk intact. Sprinkle with Parmesan and thyme; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Place into oven and bake until the egg whites have set, about 12-15 minutes.
- Serve immediately, garnished with chives, if desired.

Do the cooking times change if I make only 2? I live alone and I don’t think these will keep well in the fridge over night.9
Cooking time should relatively stay about the same.
Delicious and so easy. Will definitely be one I use just for us and for company. Thanks!

Wowser! I’m literally dropping everything and going to make this right now! Thanks, Val x
I made these this morning and should have just poured off a bit of the bacon grease and cooked the bread in it! Would have been more flavorful, as above. A bit decadent but occasionally frying in bacon grease? Yummo!
Could you explain how you’d do that? Just pour a bit of bacon grease over the bread before adding the egg? Or under?
You poor the grease out of the pan and discard it. Then use the pan for the rest of the recipe. You wouldn’t need to butter your pan then, it’s already greased.
Just a suggestion for an amazing looking recipe. Why not line the pan you cook the bacon in with foil and when the bacon is done, pour off grease and use that pan for the balance of the recipe. IMHO, would add some great flavor.
Perfect idea…then you only need to dirty 1 pan! This recipe sounds good and easy.
