Baked Egg Boats with Sausages and Cheese Recipe

Introduction

Baked egg boats are a delicious and satisfying breakfast option, combining fluffy eggs with savory sausage and melted cheese inside a crusty baguette. This recipe is perfect for a weekend brunch or a special family breakfast.

Ingredients

• 4 Breakfast Sausages
• 1 Baguette (about 20 inches long)
• 2 tablespoons Butter, melted
• 6 eggs
• ½ cup Milk of choice
• ½ cup Sharp Cheddar Cheese, shredded
• ½ cup Mozzarella Cheese, shredded
• 2 Scallions, diced
• ½ teaspoon Garlic Powder
• ¼ teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
• Salt and Pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a large baking sheet with aluminium foil.
2. Step 2: In a small frying pan, cook the breakfast sausages until fully cooked. Once done, slice them into rounds and set aside.
3. Step 3: Using a bread knife, carefully cut a deep “V” lengthwise down the baguette, being careful not to cut through the bottom crust.
4. Step 4: Gently remove the center and crumbs from the baguette, creating a hollow space for the filling.
5. Step 5: Brush the inside of the hollowed baguette with melted butter using a pastry brush and place it on the prepared baking tray.
6. Step 6: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until combined.
7. Step 7: Add sharp cheddar, mozzarella, scallions, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper to the egg mixture. Stir well to combine.
8. Step 8: Pour the egg mixture into the hollowed baguette, then evenly place the sliced sausage rounds down the center.
9. Step 9: Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and cooked through.
10. Step 10: Remove from the oven and let rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Tips & Variations

• Use your favorite type of sausage or replace it with cooked bacon or ham for a different flavor.
• Try adding diced bell peppers or mushrooms to the egg mixture for extra veggies.
• For a spicier kick, increase the cayenne pepper or add a dash of hot sauce before baking.
• Use a crusty French baguette for the best texture; softer bread may get soggy.

Storage

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm in a preheated oven at 325°F (160°C) for about 10 minutes or until heated through. Avoid microwaving to maintain the crust’s texture.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Main Ingredients

• 4 Breakfast Sausages
• 1 Baguette (~20 inches long)
• 2 tablespoons Butter, melted
• 6 eggs
• ½ cup Milk (any type)
• ½ cup Sharp Cheddar Cheese, shredded
• ½ cup Mozzarella Cheese, shredded
• 2 Scallions, diced
• ½ teaspoon Garlic Powder
• ¼ teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
• Salt and Pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Preheat oven and prepare baking sheet: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil to catch any spills and make cleanup easier.
2. Cook the sausages: In a small frying pan over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausages thoroughly until no longer pink in the center. Cooking times may vary depending on the sausage type. Once cooked, slice them into rounds and set aside.
3. Prepare the baguette: Using a bread knife, carefully cut a deep “V” shape lengthwise along the baguette without cutting through the bottom crust. Gently remove the bread crumbs and soft inner bread to create a hollow cavity.
4. Butter the inside: Using a pastry brush, coat the inside of the hollowed baguette with melted butter to add flavor and help keep it moist during baking.
5. Mix the egg filling: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until smooth. Add shredded sharp cheddar, mozzarella cheese, diced scallions, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Stir until all ingredients are evenly combined.
6. Assemble the egg boat: Pour the egg and cheese mixture into the hollowed baguette. Arrange the sliced sausage rounds in a line down the center of the egg mixture inside the baguette.
7. Bake: Place the filled baguette on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and firm to the touch.
8. Rest and serve: Remove the egg boat from the oven and allow it to rest for 5-10 minutes. Slice into portions and serve warm.

Notes

• The type of milk can be adjusted based on preference—dairy or non-dairy milks all work well.
• Feel free to swap breakfast sausages for a vegetarian alternative or omit for a vegetarian version.
• Use day-old baguette for best results as it holds shape better when hollowed.
• If preferred, add other vegetables such as diced bell peppers or mushrooms into the egg mixture.
• Letting the egg boat rest after baking allows it to set and makes slicing easier.
