The Lazy Egg & Cheese Bread Bowl
This is the kind of brunch that makes hangovers run in fear. It's chock full of all the good stuff to kick start your late start. It's all edible, so no dish washing necessary. And if that wasn't good enough, the best part is that you can customize it. I used broccoli, but who's to say you can't use mushrooms, bacon, spinach or any other classic omelette filling? You could even make it seasonal with some apple or pumpkin seeds.

- Bake in oven for 20-30 minutes depending on how you like your egg: 20 minutes if you want a runny yolk, 25 minutes if you prefer a soft yolk or 30 minutes if you want a fully cooked egg.
- Once you've removed your bowl from the foil, sprinkle the inside with salt and pepper.
