Step 1

Preheat oven to 180C/160C. With a small sharp knife, cut a circle out of the top of each roll and pull out enough bread to create a small hollow.

Step 2

Cook bacon in a small frypan for 3-4 minutes, then drain on some paper towel.

Step 3

Whisk together eggs, cream, 1/2 cup cheese and chives, then stir through bacon. Season well with salt and pepper. Pour mixture into each bread hollow, then sprinkle remaining cheese on top. Cover with foil and bake for 15 minutes, then remove from oven, remove foil and brush the top of each roll liberally with garlic butter, and dot a little over the egg. Return to oven uncovered for a further 10 minutes until quiche filling is just set and bread is golden and crisp.

Step 4

Serve hot or at room temperature.
