Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 large baguette
- 4 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 cup cooked bacon or sausage, chopped
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup diced bell pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped green onion
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon butter or olive oil (for greasing)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking the baguette.
- Prepare Baguette: Slice the top off the baguette lengthwise and carefully hollow out the inside to create a sturdy shell without cutting through the crust.
- Mix Filling: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until smooth. Stir in the cooked bacon or sausage, shredded cheddar cheese, diced bell pepper, chopped green onion, salt, and black pepper to combine well.
- Grease Baking Sheet: Lightly grease a baking sheet with butter or olive oil, or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Fill Baguette: Place the hollowed baguette on the prepared baking sheet and carefully fill it evenly with the egg mixture, making sure not to overfill.
- Bake: Bake the stuffed baguette in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the egg filling is fully set and the top turns a golden color.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing into portions and serving warm.
Notes
- You can customize your filling with mushrooms, spinach, or different cheeses according to your preference.
- This dish is great for meal prep; simply slice and reheat when needed.
- For smaller portions, try making mini versions using smaller baguettes or sandwich rolls.
