Deel op Facebook Print Recipe

Equipment

  • Small saucepan
  • medium skillet
  • medium bowl

Ingredients

MAKES 6 SERVINGS

Instructions

  • In a small saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
  • Add the chopped onion and cook, stirring, until it becomes wilted and translucent, which should take about 5 minutes.
  • Add the bacon and continue cooking until the bacon turns transparent.
  • Stir in the tomato paste, water, salt, and pepper.
  • Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes, adding more water if needed.
  • The sauce should have the consistency of a thick spaghetti sauce.
  • Allow it to cool.
  • While the sauce is cooling, cut out a 1 1/2-inch diameter circle from the top center of each roll.
  • Through that opening, hollow out the rolls using a small spoon (an espresso spoon works best) until only a 1/4-inch thickness remains on the bottom and 1/2 inch on the sides.
  • Be careful not to pierce the rolls all the way through.
  • Spoon 3 tablespoons of the tomato sauce into each roll.
  • Separate the eggs, placing the egg whites in a medium bowl and one yolk into each roll.
  • The yolks should remain intact, but if they break, it’s not a problem.
  • In a medium bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric hand mixer until stiff peaks form.
  • Using a large spoon, cover each roll with the beaten egg whites, forming a smooth dome about 2 inches high in the center.
  • There may be some leftover egg white, depending on the egg size.
  • You can refrigerate or discard the excess.
  • In a medium skillet, heat about 1/2 inch of salad oil over high heat until it reaches the smoking point, then reduce the heat to medium-high.
  • Place one of the rolls on a slotted pancake turner, holding it over the oil but not immersing it in the oil.
  • Use a large spoon to pour the hot oil over the top of the roll, allowing the excess to run down into the pan.
  • Repeat this process until the egg whites are puffed and golden, and the roll is crisp, which should take about 1 minute.
  • Carefully slide the roll onto a paper towel to drain and then place it on a warm platter.
  • Repeat the process for each roll.

Notes & Wine Advice

Serve immediately because the egg whites deflate quickly. You can reserve and reuse the oil for another use.
