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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
