Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

With a serrated paring knife, carve out a wide circle on the top of each, cutting down and leaving about 1/2-inch of bread at the bottom.

Press down the bottom with your fingers, leaving room for your filling.
- For the filling: Evenly divide the bacon into the recesses in the bread. In a medium bowl, mix the nacho cheese sauce with the Cheddar-jack blend. Divide evenly and spoon or pipe into each recess above the bacon. Crack an egg into each cavity.
- For the topping: Brush the tops of the rolls with the butter, then sprinkle with the everything bagel seasoning and Parmesan.
- Bake until the eggs are done and the rolls are golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Allow to cool for a few minutes, then cut apart and serve with a shake of hot sauce.

BACON, EGG AND CHEESE BREAKFAST CASSEROLE
Falling somewhere between a frittata and a tortilla española, this breakfast casserole has everything you love about a classic bacon, egg and cheese sandwich: smoky bacon, perfectly set eggs, sharp Cheddar and, if you want (and you definitely do), tangy hot sauce. Thinly sliced potatoes are added for structure and heft, and cooking them will be the most time-consuming part of this whole dish. The great news is that it's as delicious (if not more so) the next day, rewarmed or not. If you like, you can bake the casserole the night before and refrigerate, covered, when cool. To reheat, cover with foil and place in a 325-degree oven until warmed through, 25 to 30 minutes.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Cook bacon in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until crisp and the fat has rendered out, 8 to 10 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove from skillet, leaving fat behind.
- Add olive oil, potatoes and onion slices to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally until the potatoes are tender and start to brown, and the onions are golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Return bacon to skillet and stir to combine so that everything is distributed evenly.
- In a large bowl, whisk eggs together and season with salt and pepper. Add cheese and whisk to blend. Transfer potato mixture to a 1 1/2- to 2-quart baking dish (any shape will work) and pour egg mixture over. Place in oven and bake until eggs are puffed around the edges and just set in the center, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Remove from heat and let cool slightly before eating. Serve with hot sauce if you like.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. If using 14-oz. package of puff with 1 sheet of pastry, roll pastry to a 18x13" rectangle on a lightly floured surface. Cut in half crosswise; reserve remaining piece for another use. If using 17-oz. package with 2 sheets of pastry, roll 1 sheet to a 13x9" rectangle on a lightly floured surface; reserve remaining sheet for another use. Cut pastry lengthwise parallel to 13" side into 14 (1/2"-wide) strips. Transfer strips to a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet and chill while assembling casserole.
- Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Add 6 eggs, cover, and cook 7 minutes. Transfer eggs to a bowl of ice water and let cool completely. Peel eggs.
- Meanwhile, working in batches, cook bacon in a large skillet over medium heat, turning occasionally, until crisp, 10-12 minutes. Transfer bacon to paper towels, then transfer bacon fat to a small bowl. Let bacon cool, then coarsely chop.
- Heat 2 tsp. bacon fat in same skillet over medium. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until onion softens and turns translucent, 5-7 minutes.
- Grease a 13x9" pan with 1 Tbsp. bacon fat; discard remaining fat or reserve for another use.
- Whisk 8 eggs in a large bowl. Add cheese, salt, pepper, nutmeg, and 2 cups cream and whisk to combine. Add potato, spinach, onion, and chopped bacon and stir to combine. Pour into prepared pan. Cut cooked eggs in half lengthwise and arrange over filling, then press down so top edge of egg is even with top of filling.
- Arrange chilled dough strips lengthwise 1" apart on the diagonal, trimming to fit flush against edge of pan; use trimmed dough on shorter sides. Lay more strips over arranged strips going the other direction, creating a lattice-like (but not woven) design. Brush dough with remaining 1 Tbsp. cream with a small pastry brush.
- Bake casserole, rotating pan halfway through, until pastry is deep golden brown and cooked through, 50-55 minutes. Let cool 15 minutes before serving.
- Do Ahead
- Pastry strips can be cut 1 day ahead; arrange on rimmed baking sheet, cover with plastic wrap, and chill. Filling can be made 1 day ahead; cover and chill. Baked casserole can be made 1 day ahead; wrap tightly in plastic and chill. Reheat in a 350°F oven until warmed through, about 20 minutes.
CRISPY OVEN BACON AND EGGS
Bacon browns and crisps evenly in the oven without the hassle of flipping slices on the stovetop, while eggs can oven-fry alongside for perfect sunny-side-up runny yolks and tender whites. The oven's encompassing heat helps egg whites set on top before the yolks start to stiffen. Make sure to have the eggs sit at room temperature before cracking them into the hot pan: It ensures they'll cook quickly and evenly.

Steps:
- Take the eggs out of the refrigerator. Place a rack in the center of the oven, and heat the oven to 450 degrees.
- Arrange the bacon on a rimmed baking sheet in a single layer, spacing evenly. Roast in the center of the oven until the fat renders and the bacon curls, about 8 minutes. Very thin slices will cook more quickly; thick-cut ones will take longer.
- Take the pan out of the oven and quickly flip the bacon and move to one side of the pan. Crack the eggs onto the other side, then immediately return the pan to the oven and roast until the whites are just set, the yolks are still runny and the bacon is brown and crisp, 2 to 5 minutes longer. If you prefer medium or hard egg yolks or extra-crisp bacon, cook a few minutes more, but take out the bacon before it burns.
- Using a spatula, cut the eggs apart. Slide them off the pan and onto plates right away to stop the yolks from solidifying. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Drain the bacon on paper towels, then add to the plate along with toast. Serve immediately.
Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor and texture. This means using farm-fresh eggs, crispy bacon, and ripe vegetables.
- Don't overcook the eggs. The yolks should be slightly runny for the best results.
- Season the casserole generously. Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all good choices.
- Add some extra cheese for a gooey, cheesy casserole. Cheddar, Gruyère, or mozzarella are all good options.
- Serve the casserole immediately with your favorite sides. Toast, fruit, and bacon are all popular choices.
Conclusion:
Sunny Side Up Brunch Egg and Bacon Casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch dish. It's perfect for a lazy weekend morning or a special occasion. With its simple ingredients and flavorful results, this casserole is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
