1. Preheat oven to 375Fill medium saucepot with lightly salted water & bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Blanch rapini for 30 seconds & drain well. Cut rapini into smaller pieces when cool.
2. With small knife, cut off tops off rolls & remove some of the interior making a nice “bowl” for your ingredients. Lightly brush rolls, including interior, with butter & bake on rimmed baking pan for 5-6 minutes or until interior of rolls are lightly toasted.
3. Equally divide & arrange sausage, rapini, mushrooms & tomatoes in rolls, leaving centers open for eggs. Top each with cracked egg, seasoning with salt & pepper & sprinkling with thyme leaves if desired. Return to oven & bake for 10-12 minutes or until rolls are a toasty golden brown & the egg whites have just set. Enjoy while still warm from the oven for best flavor & texture.
Chef’s Tip:
Can’t find rapini? Try using baby kale greens, chard or spinach. In a pinch for time? Use Smithfield Fully Cooked Sausage Patties to make this easy recipe even quicker!
