Fried Eggs with Bread (in the Oven)
Description
It works both for special occasions and for everyday meals. There are many variations of this eggs-in-bread dish. Some people completely scoop out the soft interior of the bread, leaving only the crust; in this recipe, the soft interior is not removed, but only pressed down. You can add pieces of vegetables and herbs to the eggs in bread. Eat the dish immediately after baking, while the eggs in bread are still hot.
