Submitted by Tisme

"Ohh this makes for an such and easy breakfast! I suppose cheddar could be used instead of Colby, but Colby seems to melt a little better!"

Made this for lunch and scaled back for 3 and we all thoroughly enjoyed, though it wasn't till I went to fill the rolls that I realised I had used the 4 serve recipe quantities for the mushroom/spinach filling). I used a smoky ham and sharp vintage cheddar. For some reason don't know why but I put the spring onion in the mushrooms oh well it still tasted great. I baked at 165 fan forced oven for 12 minutes and got a firm egg set which the DM and DS prefer for me though I would cook for a little less for a runny yolk. I also baked the lids which gave a nice crisp top (my idea was to use it as dipping vessel into the runny yolk, also next time I would also toast some of the chunky bits of bread to use as a dipper as well). Thanks Tisme, made for Make My Recipes Edition 11.
