Ingredients
Scale
Meat
- 4 Breakfast Sausages
Bread
- 1 Baguette (~20 inches long)
Dairy
- 2 tablespoons Butter, melted
- 6 eggs
- ½ cup Milk (any choice)
- ½ cup Sharp Cheddar Cheese, shredded
- ½ cup Mozzarella Cheese, shredded
Vegetables & Spices
- 2 Scallions, diced
- ½ teaspoon Garlic Powder
- ¼ teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
- Salt and Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven and prepare pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
- Cook sausage: In a small frying pan over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausages until fully cooked through. Cooking time will vary based on the type of sausage. Once done, slice the sausages into rounds and set aside.
- Hollow the baguette: Using a bread knife, cut a deep “V” along the length of the baguette, being careful not to cut through the bottom. Remove the center and extra bread crumbs gently to create a hollow space for the filling.
- Butter the baguette interior: Use a pastry brush to coat the inside of the hollowed baguette with the melted butter, adding flavor and helping to crisp the bread during baking.
- Prepare the egg mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until smooth. Add the sharp cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, diced scallions, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined.
- Fill the baguette: Pour the egg and cheese mixture into the hollowed baguette, spreading evenly.
- Add sausage: Arrange the sliced sausage rounds down the center of the egg-filled baguette to distribute the meat evenly.
- Bake: Place the filled baguette on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 30-35 minutes, until the eggs are set and cooked through.
- Rest and serve: Remove from oven and let the egg boat rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing into portions and serving.
Notes
- You can substitute breakfast sausages with cooked bacon or ham if preferred.
- Milk of choice can be dairy or plant-based alternatives like almond or oat milk.
- Adjust cayenne pepper to your spice preference or omit for a milder flavor.
- Use a serrated bread knife for easier and cleaner hollowing of the baguette.
- Letting the egg boat rest after baking helps the filling set and makes slicing easier.
