For future reference , easy outs are very good . You drill a pilot hole and screw the easy out in which has a left hand spiral and this unscrews the broken off screw or bolt . Small good quality set less than a tenner

I have always found cheap easy outs can snap all to easily and leave a piece of hardened steel inside the sheared bolt. The methods outlined earlier in this post are much better options IMHO.
