Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 whole baguette
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or gruyere)
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut the baguette in half lengthwise and hollow out the center of each half, creating a boat shape. Leave about 1/2 inch of bread on the sides and bottom.
Brush the inside of each baguette half with melted butter to add flavor and prevent sogginess.
Place the baguette halves on the prepared baking sheet.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Divide the shredded cheese evenly between the baguette halves, spreading it in the hollowed-out sections.
Pour the egg mixture into each baguette half, filling almost to the top. Be careful not to overfill.
Sprinkle chopped parsley over the egg mixture for a pop of color and flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the egg filling is set and slightly golden on top.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 1-2 minutes. Slice into portions and serve warm.
