Instructions
- Prepare the Bread Bowl: Cut a large chunk of unsliced bread and hollow out some of the inside to create a bowl. Toast the bread in an air fryer or oven until crispy.
- Prepare the Egg Mixture: Separate the egg whites and yolk after peeling the eggs. Chop the egg whites and set it aside. In another bowl, mash the egg yolks with a tablespoon and add mayonnaise, salt and pepper. Now, mix the chopped egg whites with the mashed egg yolks to make the egg mixture.
- Assemble the Dish: Layer sliced tomatoes in the bottom of the toasted bread bowl. Then, add the egg mixture into the bread bowl.

Substitutions
- Bread: You can use any unsliced bread you have, such as sourdough or whole wheat, if you can’t find croissants or brioche.
- Mayonnaise: You can substitute with Greek yogurt or avocado mayo for a lighter option.
- Chili Flakes: You can use paprika or hot sauce if you prefer a milder spice.
- Sun Dried Tomatoes: It is okay to replace with fresh tomatoes or olives if you prefer.
Variations
- Cheese Topping: Add a layer of shredded cheese before serving for extra richness.
- Vegetarian version: Instead of eggs, stuff paneer with vegetables.
- Protein Boost: You can add meat of your choice to the egg mixture for additional protein.
Storage
- Storing: Best enjoyed fresh, but you can store any leftover egg mixture in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
How to serve
- Breakfast: Serve as a hearty and unique breakfast option.
- Snack: Perfect for a quick and satisfying snack any time of the day.
- Brunch: A great addition to a brunch spread, especially when served with a fresh salad or fruit.
