Breakfast is my favorite meal. I like to drink iced coffee and watch the cream climb its way down the chunky ice cubes in a dazy before the caffeine hits. I like to order bacon with whatever I’m eating. I like eating potatoes with ketchup. I like eggs over easy, and fluffy scrambled eggs. I pretty much like everything there is to like about breakfast. That is why I am pretty excited about these Baked Egg Boats. They are sooo easy to make. Side note. Remember when Subway got all weird and cut a channel out of the middle of their sandwich bread, and then pulled the bread off cause they were trying to be all different? Yea, that was weird. I’m pretty sure its refered to as the “u” cut with Subway sandwich aficionados. Anyway, if you remember that whole technique they used, apply it to this baked egg situation and I think it will work out pretty well.

4. Divide and pour the mixture into each baguette boat and place onto a baking sheet.
5. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown, puffed and set in the center. Season with salt and pepper.
6. Allow to cool for about 5 minutes, cut and serve.

I love how you make breakfast sound like a holiday. Because let’s face it: it is
that is my new favorite line, Naomi!
Yum. I love bread and egg whites I’m sure it will work the same, I will also use turkey bacon fried crisp.
Why ruin it?
Some people enjoy good things in a healthier version. Theres nothing wrong with that i plan on changing mine too. I dont even cheese, I dont think that would ruin it just would change it to fit my needs.
there is no such think as bad food, just bad eater
. Bacon is bacon. Just remember to balance your omega 6′s with your omega 3′s and you will feel the difference.
Well, turkey bacon is supposedly worse for you since it is mostly processed meat and sodium. So if you want to stay healthy, just trim some of the fat from the bacon or use ham instead. But stick away from turkey bacon.
These look amaze balls! I’m so going to try these.~> Slight aside~> I never understand why people come to another persons blog and complain. Yeah I get the free speech thing but really? I think that is so rude. It’s like visiting someone’s home and insulting them. Anyway just my thoughs. This blog rocks, great pics, great instructions. Thank you:)
Rachael, thank you!! its about time somebody said it and your’e so right IT IS like coming to someones house and being rude!
Rachael,
I totally agree with you! Doesn’t anyone remember the Golden Rule anymore?
I am making them tomorrow morning but with eggs , fresh Dungeness crab and cheese..”can’t wait
I also totally agree with you both:) Also, I think you can make these all different ways for all different meals and events and change thee ingredients up and around for many good recipes. I will first try the breakfast meal first because it sounds so good, but i also like when someone mentioned the crab in it also. Just a very delightful meal or appetizer for any event,
Fine point, Rachel. Never thought of it that way. However, since it is a public forum, I guess you just have to get used to petty opinion and just extract a new perspective and move on unscathed.
This recipe really looks too tasty to believe.
I have never looked at anything more wonderful in my life.
This is one of those meals you have to eat before you die…
This is a ‘bucket list’ meal…heck, I’m goin to get the ingredients to make these right now! Genius!
Amen! Def a bucket list meal! Hope to cross it off the list and make it a staple soon!
yummy
I know it is almost half a year away, but I am putting this down for Mother’s Day breakfast in bed!! The kids and hubby could totally pull this off!
Yes, Lorie! Do it! My birthday’s next week and I’ve already told my boyfriend that this is what he’s making me for my “birthday breakfast”… It literally takes 7 minutes to put together, before popping it in the oven! Enjoy!
Could this be made the day before heated the next morning?
Hi Kat! Yes, these little guys re-heat very well!
How would I reheat them? Making them for admin assistants week! Gotta love the school secretary’s…Any recommendations? Thx
I would love this with a nice glass of cold milk.
looks really yummy! it reminds me of a salted bread thing we make here in cyprus in easter! (http://www.bearskitchen.com/flaounes.htm)
Holy genius, Batman! This is going on my list of things to make this week!
Pretty sure this is going to by my new favorite breakfast item. It looks SO good!
I am so making this soon!
When the page loaded, I literally paused and whispered to myself, “Oh my goodness. That looks so good.” Yep…that’s going to be on this weekend’s menu. Thanks, ladies!
These look fantastic! What an awesome idea
I can’t wait to try this!
This is genius! I can’t wait to make these!!
can I come over, I promise I’ll do the dishes
This is so strange! But wonderful. Awesome idea!
I’m now envisioning cream oozing through the maze of ice cubes in a tumbler of iced coffee… I gotta go hook myself up with some, STAT! Also, for the love, these are like heaven in a boat!
this may be the best thing i’ve seen in 2012.
omg.
I’m so using this concept for my next brunch get together. I’ve always loved egg-in-a-hole but this takes it to another level!
Those egg-in-a-hole breakfast things you’re talking about, were called toad-in-the-roads back when I was a kid, but Please don’t ask my age…..
Ooh these look so tasty! I bought some duck eggs recently, so might try this recipe with them.
Wow that sounds awesome. Let us know how that turns out with them!
Oh! My! Goodness!! I have to say . . . that is the most beautiful food item I have seen in ages. I would starve if I waited for my hubby to bring me this in bed . . . BUT, I think hubby and the kids will LOVE it when I make this for them. Seriously! If this tastes HALF as good as it looks, WOW!!!!!
Holy cow! These are AMAZING!!! Anyone know if I can use milk instead of cream?
Hi Tai! You can def swap the cream out for trill, but I would avoid using fat free. Any other milk works great! Good luck!
WHOA. These is amazing! They’re on the to-do list. Official.
I cannot wait to try making this!!!!
Awesome recipe!
Oh my gosh. This is the most scrumptious thing I’ve seen in a long while. Why have I never heard of anything like this!?
WHY HAVEN’T I THOUGHT OF THIS BEFORE?! In retrospect it seems so obvious to do…it’s going on my Sunday breakfast list. Thank you for the beautiful (and yummy) post!
if liking this makes me weird, count me in!!! XO
New brunch recipe + Easter breakfast: check. Looks delicious!
I’m not a big breakfast eater….but ….wow! These are quite inspiring! These boats look awesome and your photography is just beautiful!!! : )
These sound amazing…just like everything else you make
http://woodstockwardrobe.com/
I love breakfast for supper, and I couldn’t resist trying this recipe tonight! I paired it with roasted brussels sprouts which turned out to be a great flavor and visual complement. So delicious! My boyfriend was ecstatic, and we both emoted with mmmmms and oh my gods throughout the meal. Thanks for sharing. This one is going into the regular rotation!
This is why food blogs exist. Yum!
Breakfast is my favorite meal too, both home and out, and this looks so, so, wonderful. I’m going to make it soon, thank you!
Breakfast is my favorite meal! Love everything breakfast too
I am bookmarking this bit of breakfast gorgeousness!!
Whaaaat? These sound AMAZING! Must, must make them this weekend. Eggs are totally the best.
I honestly think I will give this a go on Sunday, or maybe tomorrow. I’m 4 months pregnant and shoveling about everything into my mouth, but at least this looks quasi-healthy and sustaining! Score!
Quiche in a bread bowl! Why didn’t I think of this?? The possibilities are whizzing through my brain right now. Fabulous!
What a wonderful idea! It’s like a quiche but somehow way better and easier. Yum!
What a fabulous idea for brunch! Thanks for the great post. I am definitely making this this weekend. xx ~L
I just saw something similar in a magazine and have been DYING to wake up early enough to make them all week! The pancetta/gruyere combo sounds delishhhhhh.
Wow! These look amazing!
These are gorgeous and would be my hub’s dream meal!
Very, very cool. I especially love that you cut the center of the breads out where it had already been slashed for baking (or at least, it looks like you did).
I love the way that these look, they are absolutely beautiful. I can see these being amazing packed in a bag for a picnic sunrise breakfast hike (not that I’ve ever taken a sunrise hike – but it sounds romantic and that is what these gorgeous breakfast rolls make me think of)!!!
I want to go to bed right now so I can wake up to these!
This looks freaking AMAZING. so genius!
One of these babies in one hand, a steaming coffee in the other and I would be a happy girl!
Hello Lover!! I want that right now.
Wow, just wow, love these…so genius!
Oh! This is a great idea. I love breakfast too – especially on the weekends – and I really like things you can prep, pop in the oven, and walk away to enjoy the morning. Of course, the pancetta is the total treat of the meal!
This looks absolutely scrumptious! Am going to make this, for sure.
AMAZING!! Simple, but delicious. I love breaskfast food.
Unreal! Thank you for existing!
Wow,these look so delicious!!!I would love to make them but since i am from Holland,i am not sure what you mean by demi.But i think it means that the baguettes are bought pre-baked.Can you tell me if i am right?Thank you for sharing and greetings from Holland!
Hi Lidy! Demi baguettes are just the smaller ones. They’re about a third of the size of a standard baguette
thanks for reading!
thank you so much for your quick reply!
I saw this today and thought to myself that I need to make this for the Misses! However, after reading the cooking directions I am slightly confused. Do I pre-cook the eggs or just poor it in to the baguette?
Pour it straight into the baguette… Lucky little Misses you have there
. Partially unstuff the baguettes. Set aside.
When you set these aside do you use them again? wasn’t sure if you just discard, or mix back in with the egg mixture.
I meant that the baguettes are to be set aside. I ended up just snacking on the middle parts that I unstuffed
I wouldn’t add it to the mix bc it’ll weigh down the mixture itself, which is meant to be a little light and fluffy.
It you don’t want to just snack on bread, you could always make homemade breadcrumbs
You can always use the left over bread from the inside to feed the birds. It is winter and some of the ground is hard or frozen and they can’t find worms and bugs.
I LOVE that idea!!! Thanks for the suggestion!
An even better idea to use the left over bread is to light toast them in the oven and then dip them into a dipping oil…DEEEELISHISH!!!!
Brilliant!!
What a fantastic idea!! I’ve never seen anything like this.
: ))
Jen
Great idea! You could do different kinds all on a big platter for a mix and match brunch!
The photography is GREAT!!
~M.
This looks amazing! What a great idea.
Your recipes are awesome! Thank you!
My baguette is about to get a breakfast makeover! Swoon.
Hi — I recently discovered your blog and absolutely love it! It is one of the very best food blogs ever. You girls are amazing with your recipes and photos. Love, love, love!!! Have you ever considered putting together a cookbook of all your wonderful recipes? (Maybe there is one and I’ve missed it…??!) I’d buy it immediately!
One day for sure! Thanks for reading!
This looks great and I’ll love to make it soon. I just had one question concerning the ingredients. When you say “heavy cream” what type of cream are you referring to?
Hi Jeff! I’m referring to “heavy whipping cream”, but you can substitute whole or low fat milk instead. Thanks for reading!
Thank you very much. I can’t wait to make these.
I am going to try these, but I have to tell you, your photography is absolutely beautiful!! Thank you for making that special too!
Thank you so much Nancy. Thats really super nice of you to say
Looks tasty! Great recipe. Thx!
Oh Yumm! This sounds amazing, will have to try it.
Oh my – I must say that this looks divine! Can’t wait to give it a try!
I love everything about breakfast, too. These are definitely on our menu for the upcoming weekend. Outstanding!
could I use a different cheese than the one you suggested?
Thanks
Yep! You can use any great melting cheese… Fontina, cheddar, raclette…anything! The same goes for the other filling ingredients
These look so delicious! However, my husband and I don’t care for cheese (I know, I know, we’re missing out), so, can I leave the cheese out altogether? Thanks for the inspiration!
Yes, you certainly can! Maybe add an additional 2 tablespoons of cream/butter to the mix… But that’s it! Also feel free to swap out the filling ingredients for whatever you want!
Goodness this looks amazing. I think I want to try to make them this weekend for Sunday morning breakfast. I gotta be that annoying person and ask…….. I love heavy cream (LOVE!) but the husband…poor man… is of the lactose intolerant persuasion. I have been pretty successful actually making scrambled eggs with a little rice milk added, do you think that would work here? Or do you know of a better sub?
Thank you so much for sharing this awesome breakfast! I’m with you; coffee and breakfast are the best part of the day!
Poor man indeed!
I’ve only subbed almond milk for this before and it’s been great… Slightly diff but great nonetheless. I don’t see why rice milk should be any different! Good luck!
Love it !!! Cannot wait to make it !! : )
Always looking for something new to make for breakfast and I will be trying this out immediately!
This makes me not wanna miss breakfast! YUM!
Looks amazing!
I really love your blog, and these look delicious!
This may be a silly question, but do I buy the baguettes that are already baked?
Yes, you buy already baked baguettes!
Thanks! Can’t wait to try this wekeend!
This is genius! I wish I had baguettes to make them right now!
OH MY YUM. I am making these ASAP!
Made these for dinner. I did use 1/2 and 1/2 instead of cream. Since it was for dinner I also added a mixture of sauted mushrooms, spinach, and diced onion to the pancetta while it cooked. They were a huge hit. Thanks for the great recipie. This one is definatley a keeper!
Wow, what a great idea. I love eggs for dinner.
Not gonna lie, these look awesome!
Whoa. If I could eat the pictures on my computer screen, I would.
Fabulous blog!!
Teri, these look incredible! I might feature them on my own blog this weekend, if I may! If breakfast really is your favorite meal of the day (as is mine), stop on by, because I think you’ll dig it!
-Alexander (the Breakfast Bachelor)
I will for sure!
When I am no longer sick, I will be making this. Probably several days in a row.
Andrea x
In the oven now : ) I subbed with ham and shredded co jack because that’s what we had, I think my hubby is going to enjoy lunch today!! Thanks!!!
Why didn’t I think of that??!! Holy comfort food! Looks delish, will be making that this weekend!!
I don’t like bacon that much but this looks wonderful!! Wonderful, ya hear me!
These make me crave them!
Saw this 1hour ago…went to store…in the oven right now. Can’t wait!!!
Can’t wait to try this recipe. I was directed here by way of Stumble Upon and immediately upon reading I made a new board in my Pinterest (Gotta Give It A Try….OMG) and pinned you. I can’t wait to look through your recipes…thanks for posting.
My roommate and I just made this delicious breakfast meal, and we loved it! It’s the perfect classy Sunday morning hangover dish.
We used a big baguette instead of the demi ones, and we replaces the pancetta with bacon, and it all worked fantastically.
This looks wonderful! I’m going to try it with my granddaughter tomorrow. I found you on Stumble upon. Thank you!
I love super simple and fun breakfast concepts, and this one looks like a winner! Brava, ladies!
Wow that looks delicious! Thanks for sharing.
I would love this with a Moroccan hot tea
Made these this morning and pinned on pinterest! SO YUMMY!
OH MAN! YUMMM! I will be trying this very soon! Thanks for sharing!
Looks so delicious and easy. Does the crust of the bread burn or get super hard? Love this idea for a morning meeting…
I’d eat this anytime, any day of the week!
I shared this on my FB page…too good not to!
This is great, you can do so much with this technique!
& SUBWAY:::: a part of me dies the day they STOPPED doing the “V” cut. That made the sandwich taste better. seriously.
OMG that looks delicious
This are beautiful! I can’t wait to make them myself! Thank you for sharing
I totally love it!!!
Thanks
This just popped up in my StumbleUpon recommendations, and oh my gravy it looks good!
My doughter is crazy about them , thx
Pulling out the bread is actually a “thing” for people who want fewer calories. It’s apparently a “thing” in the New York City / New Jersey area to get a bagel “scooped”, which means scooping out the bread.
Wow, in the oven right now…. didn’t have demi sourdough baguettes or pancetta, or gruyere cheese so I used ham and sharp cheddar and a regular baguette for the entire recipe…. I can’t wait to taste this…. will let you know how it turned out.. yum, yum, yum…
So…. baked for 30 min…. and it is wonderful! My husband says it is one of the best things he has ever eaten… this is absolutely going to be a regular at our house..
Yummy! thanks so much for sharing, I can not wait for the weekend so we give it a try!
OMG these are so so delicious….. I did have a problem when i was baking them though, they ended up taking almost an hour for the mixture to cook, im not sure why though and i had to cover them cause my bread started to burn…. BUT they were definitly worth the wait. I didnt use sourdough bread, do u think that would make a difference??
That seems very delicious hmmm
ok so i found your website on stumbleupon these look sooo amazing that I had to run out and buy mini baguettes. I cant wait its breakfast for supper tonight.
thank you
healthy food for a healthy you!
i am dnitly gona try this receipee
I totally love it..thank for sharing ..
How big are the baguettes? The Recipe calls for 5 eggs split among 4 baguettes…..so only a little over one egg per baguette? Is that correct? This looks delicious and I am thinking of trying to make for Saturday morning
Thanks for sharing!
love
Made these today with some variations and they turned out well. Blogged about it and gave you credit for the recipe. Awesome stuff. Good for a holiday brunch.
Not that crazy about eggs, but I think this is a must try. Looks delicious!
This may be a blonde question. . . but are the baguettes cooked before all this? or raw dough?
They are already cooked!
The store was out of scallions so I substituted in shallots. The dish lost some color but still came out very tasty. Experimenting with other ingredients will be fun too, I think. Bookmarked.
The subway cut was called the “u gouge”! This description totally helps me understand how to prepare this. Good memory!
Waiting for them to come out of the oven!
Can these be made ahead of time, frozen, and re-heated for breakfast on the go?
My husband loves hot pockets breakfast, but I’m trying to be a little more economical. and healthy.
He always wakes up late, though, so I need something that we can quickly heat up and eat on the go
Wow, these loaves of yummy eggy bread look delightful and I can’t wait to try this recipe soon! Thank you for this recipe!
I LOVE this idea! I could probably eat an entire loaf of this!
This is a great idea for I love eggs in a frame and my kids love them as well they make me make them for their friends when they sleep over. Thanks for the idea…….
Love the idea, these look delicious! Going to test out our own little variation tonight. Check it out, seemegcook.blogspot.com
This is absolutely heavenly. I need to show this to my teenager when he gets up and I am pretty sure we will be making it very soon,lol
this looks so nice and delicious. I want to make it for my son and his girl when they visit this weekend. They live in Brooklyn, and I live in the country.
I try to make some comfort foods for them when they visit as they don’t cook as much as they would like
thanks for the recipe love it
To get a much nicer texture on the outside of the bread, rub with olive oil before stuffing with egg mixture. Herbs can also be added to the oil rub. PEOPLE, PLEASE DON’T BE AFRAID OF REALLY GOOD CHEESE.
I was married to a European dude whose love of stinky cheese did me in on the cheese front. My refrigerator always smelled like feet and with my doggie sense of smell, I was in constant hell. Gruyere tests my limits. I’m working on being open to cheese again, but the emotional toll it’s taken on me is hard to recover from.
)
I need to show this to my mother… Thanks…
I made these this morning. However I used spinach, fat-free feta, scallions, part skim mozzarella cheese, and egg whites. It was delicious.
I’m baking these now! I opted for plain milk, cheddar cheese, and bacon
I hope they turn out well since I didn’t have the best baguettes to start with. I scoured the internet trying to find this recipe after I saw it one day 
Looks so delicious, and good looking images! Mouth watering
That looks heavenly. I’m definitely trying that out soon. Thanks for the idea!
Wow! These look and sound amazing! I am going to try to make these on my next day off! Thanks for the recipe.
Oh, this looks genius. This would be worth waking up early for.
Oh my – are these beautiful or what! Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day, and this is going to make it SO much better. Genius to the max! Thank you!
OMG! I am such a breakfast girl! I can’t wait to make this!!!
i’m so gonna have this .. veggy style
:D
YUM….Mouth Watering
AWESOME !!!!!!!!!!!
These look fabulous and easy to make! Thanks for sharing.
I plan to make this for a breakfast office party. I have to serve about 30 people how many ‘boats’ do you think I should make in all?
If it’s for apps I’d say make about 12 to 15, if it’s for a meal everyone should get their own
These look absolutely perfect. I’ve been wanting to make these for years, now. Thank you for the inspiration.
I’ve got to admit, they do look pretty awesome!
Is the baguettes baked already? Before you pour the egg mix into it?
Yep! They are pre baked!
I’m in love with these baguettes!!!!!!!!!!
The most beautiful thing I’ve seen on a loaf of bread, well done!
Could this be made a day ahead and heated before serving?
I tried it and it didn’t cook..hmmmmm So I am glad I gave it a test run…will try it one more time tonight and see what is what. Brunch is Sunday and I thought these would be great…lets keep our fingers spoons and forks crossed…
cheers
dave m
Hi Dave! Can you explain the issue in a bit more detail? Was the egg mixture just still runny? Or was it something else?
Looks awesome, another variation is to hollow out cibatta bread, fill it with bacon or sausage veggies, potatoes or whatever you want and crack an egg on top and bake, works great for company they can put whatever they want in t bread bowl so to speak
Making these for breakfast this morning…they smell delicious as they are baking right now!
i live in a small town where i cant get that kinda cheese.. is there one i can sub??
Yes! You can sub in any of your favorite melting cheese!
Swiss would be the equivalent but I’m sure lots of cheeses would be delicious in this recipe. I’m going to experiment with the cheese, as well . . . Good luck!
Just made these for dinner and it was delish! I successfully used fat free half and half instead of the cream, just took more like 45 minutes to bake. I’m sure the cream recipe is out of this world, but we loved our version too. I only used one demi baguette, but tore up the “scooped” bread top and insides and put them into two ramekins, then poured the remaining egg mixture over the top. Excellent meal for two people, and left-overs in ramekins to boot! Thanks so much!
What a great Easter brunch idea. Consider this bookmarked!
Yumm! looks amazing, so full of goodness. =D
thanks for sharing! =)
This looks so good, I may even have to irritate my doctor and go off my gluten free lifestyle to try this.
These look delicious and I’m looking forward to trying them soon!
Thank heavens someone sent me this recipe. I make these in sourdough rolls and freeze them for my picky picky picky teenager’s breakfast before school. They really are heaven on toast points….thank you for a wonderful recipe and blog.
Just made but I improvised with sharp chedder, sausage, and half/half. I also buttered the bread a little. Everyone loved even the kids…now everyone is pooped like after eating a Thanksgiving dinner.
Yummy~! these look amazing, thank you for sharing, I will be making them tomorrow for breakfast~~!!!
Hello, you become a new fan. Very yummy your breakfast. Greatings from my Husband too.
I just love your Baked Egg boat, I’ve made them twice already (you can see it on my blog). Thanks for the share !
These look really good! Will attempt to make some this weekend!
-George
Made these tonight – Yum!! Mine took a little longer, but I think my mini-baguettes were longer than yours… Made mine with good ol’ cheddar and bacon (and green onions). Thanks for the recipe!
I made these about a month ago, and they were delicious. I think it is time to make them again. Thank you!
I made these when my teenage sons had friends over. They all went nuts over these! They really are easy to make and can be adjusted to suit your tastes, but best of all….they are delicious!
I’ve been searching for a great recipe for Mother’s Day, and I’ve finally found it. I do have a question though. I’m not sure if I missed it but do you ever incorporate the bread that you removed from the roll back into the recipe or can I just eat it and enjoy? Thanks!
Not only is this clever, the photos are incredible! Can I come over for breakfast!!?? Please link up to Foodie Friday!
I just made this for lunch! They were sensational. I made a few changes though (like no cream and turkey ham insted of bacon and I added green bell peppers). But, girl, really, the idea is spectacular!
My mom and sister where thrilled, thank you very much.
It’s like an Omelette Sandwich! Simple and lovely.
Cheers!
Great idea! Going to make these for Easter brunch this year. Might have to do a trial run first. Will likely have to sub in slightly cheaper ingredients, but I’m sure it will still be super tasty.
Looks yummy! Now imagine them stuffed with a chorizo man n cheese
Oh…my…gosh! Those look so delicious! This recipe is most definitely getting bookmarked.
AMAZING!! Having these for brunch on Sunday
Tomorrows breakfast, these wonderful boats stuffed with eggs, green onion,fresh Dungeness crab and cheese,, ,I wonder what kind of cheese, any ideas for a special cheese to accent the crab meat?
made these this morning, but instead i used wheat baguettes, bacon, and cheddar. delich! new fav breakfast.
Made these this weekend and they were DELICIOUS! the eggs were so fluffy and wonderful! only problem was the eggs didn’t cook in the recommended amount of time so had to leave them in ten extra minutes, which made the bread WAY too crunchy and difficult to eat
any suggestions on how to keep the bread soft? i’m thinking i may have even hollowed them out too much (although i thought i had left an ample amount of bread in them)
any suggestions would be appreciated! we made our with bacon, green onions, AND green peppers! yummmmm
Do you know if you can subsitute egg whites and still have it work?
I just made this and it taste great! But, it did not seem to be done even after 30 minutes and setting for 5 minutes. So I put each on in the microwave for 20 seconds. Has anyone else had this problem?
How many would this recipe serve?
Diane, I think that would depend on appetites, and/or how big the bread is. My instinct is to tell you to use your best judgement,but based on the 5 eggs used, I would say anywhere from 2 to 4 people, again, depending on appetites.
I’m am so excited about this recipe , as is, it seems , the rest of the world, based on the number of responses, LoL – I am going to make this up over the weekend for my husband. I will add some sautéed mushrooms to the mix, as well as some bacon instead of the pancetta, because I have to use what’s in my fridge. I also liked the idea that someone else suggested, to use crab meat. Such a simple idea with endless variations. Thank you! Don’t know why we all hadn’t thought of this before, but you rock!
I’m making these for dinner tonight. That’s right, dinner. I’ll be serving them with strawberries & cream, grits casserole, and mint juleps. I’m practicing for our Derby Brunch. Thanks for the recipe! These little darlings are like quiche in a baguette. So excited about them!
So good. Made these for my wife and she loved them. We’ve had them several times since then. I still have never been able to find ‘demi’ baguettes, only the full sized versions. Perhaps the stores where I live just aren’t ready to go down that road. Either way, I make the bigger ones work. Like another reviewer, I’ve also made a ‘breakfast bake’ by taking the scooped out bread, tossing into a buttered ramekin and covering with leftover filling, which I seem to usually have on hand. Bake that up and it’s a great treat too. Thanks for the recipe!
I would never think to put eggs baked inside a piece of french baguette…genius! I have to try this recipe.
looks really yummy !
Gotta try this recipe sometime this week, minus the bacon though !
Oops! I cut the baguette all the way to the end (just like subway) so when I poured the egg mixture in it all ran out the ends! Doh!
Made this today…my version-spinach, mushroom, dijon mustard, 1/2 n 1/2, morning star patties chopped (I don’t eat pork), guyrere cheese….great idea…so many things u could do…endless…the re-heat perfectly….and a great “to-go” breakfast!!!!! Brilliant thank you !!!!!
Thanks for this great idea. These are perfect for a breakfast brunch. So easy to make a bunch and hold them warm in the oven. Make more than you think, people will gobble them down. Thanks for your great recipes I find great ideas for the Inn on Poplar Hill. Victoria The Happy Innkeeper
Are the baguettes fresh or frozen? Looks yummy!
What a cool idea!!! I’m definitely going to make these!!! Thanks for posting!!!
Making these for the first time next for a bridal brunch. The only concern I have is..will the crust get too hard and crunchy while in the oven for 25 minutes. If so, should I somehow cover the crust before baking? Need to know before May 12th. Thanks so much!
This looks really good. I have been wanting to try something for breakfast like this. If you ever want another place to share your talent, we would love to have you at Bacon Time’s anything Goes linky on Friday.
Just tryed this tonight for dinner and made it according to the recipe. No Ice coffee here but accompanied it with a wonderful glass of Chardonnay and it was AMAZING!!! Love Love Love this recipe!!
I just made it for mother’s day!!! Great recipe
