Ingredients
Scale
Main Proteins:
- 5 eggs
- 5 strips bacon, cooked and chopped
Base Ingredient:
- 1 baguette-style loaf of bread, 10-12 inches long
Flavor Enhancers and Dairy:
- 4 ounces (113 grams) medium cheddar cheese, grated
- 1/3 cup milk
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- Salt
- Pepper
Instructions
- Carefully excavate a V-shaped tunnel along the baguette’s crown, delicately extracting the inner bread to create a pristine vessel for the savory filling.
- Thoroughly blend eggs and milk in a mixing vessel, seasoning with a nuanced touch of salt and pepper to elevate the flavor profile.
- Incorporate crisp, crumbled bacon, sharp cheddar cheese, and vibrant green onions into the egg mixture, ensuring an even distribution of ingredients.
- Gently pour the aromatic egg concoction into the hollowed baguette, allowing the mixture to settle evenly within the bread’s interior.
- Position the prepared loaf on a sturdy baking sheet, positioning it centrally in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C).
- Monitor the baking process for 20-25 minutes, watching for the eggs to set completely and the cheese to transform into a golden, bubbling layer.
- Remove from the oven and allow the stuffed loaf to rest momentarily, enabling the filling to stabilize and the flavors to harmonize.
- Slice the baked creation into portions, revealing the sumptuous layers of eggs, bacon, and melted cheese nestled within the crisp baguette exterior.
Notes
- Hollow out the baguette carefully to maintain its structural integrity, ensuring a thick enough wall to hold the egg mixture without breaking.
- Customize the filling by swapping bacon with ham, sausage, or vegetarian alternatives like diced bell peppers or mushrooms for diverse dietary preferences.
- Pat the bacon dry before adding to the egg mixture to prevent excess moisture and maintain a crisp texture throughout the baking process.
- Line the baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup and to prevent the bottom of the loaf from becoming too dark or burnt.
