Description

Baked egg boats are a delightful handheld breakfast that combines the heartiness of a quiche with the convenience of a baguette. Filled with cooked breakfast sausage, fluffy eggs, sharp cheddar, mozzarella, and seasoned with garlic powder and cayenne pepper, these egg boats are perfect for a satisfying breakfast or brunch. They are baked until the eggs are set within a hollowed-out baguette, creating a savory and flavorful meal that’s easy to serve and enjoy.

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 4 Breakfast Sausages
  • 1 Baguette (~20 inches long)
  • 2 tablespoons Butter, melted
  • 6 Eggs
  • ½ cup Milk (almond, oat, or 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. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a large baking sheet with aluminium foil to make cleanup easier.
  2. Cook Sausages: In a small frying pan over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausages until fully cooked through, which may take about 8-10 minutes depending on sausage type. Once cooked, slice the sausages into rounds and set aside.
  3. Prepare Baguette: Using a bread knife, carefully cut a deep “V” lengthwise down the center of the baguette, being careful not to cut through the bottom crust. Gently remove and discard the bread crumbs from the center to create a hollowed cavity.
  4. Butter the Inside: Brush the inside of the hollowed baguette with melted butter using a pastry brush to add flavor and help with browning.
  5. Mix Egg Mixture: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until blended. Add the shredded sharp cheddar, shredded mozzarella, diced scallions, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine all ingredients evenly.
  6. Fill the Baguette: Pour the egg and cheese mixture into the hollowed baguette, spreading evenly. Arrange the sliced sausage rounds down the center of the filled baguette.
  7. Bake: Place the stuffed baguette on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and the top is lightly golden.
  8. Rest and Serve: Remove the baguette from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes to firm up before slicing into individual servings. Serve warm and enjoy your delicious baked egg boats.

Notes

  • You can use any type of milk, but almond or oat milk are preferred for added flavor and creaminess.
  • Copper or mild breakfast sausages can be substituted based on preference.
  • Ensure the baguette is cut carefully without cutting all the way through the bottom to keep the structure intact.
  • Resting the egg boat after baking helps the filling set for easier slicing.
  • For a spicier kick, increase the cayenne pepper slightly or add a dash of hot sauce before baking.
