Ingredients
  

  • 4 breakfast sausages
  • 1 baguette approximately 20 inches long
  • 2 tablespoons butter melted
  • 6 eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk of choice almond or oat milk preferred
  • 1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese shredded
  • 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
  • 2 scallions diced
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Equipment

  • Large baking sheet
  • Aluminum foil
  • Serrated knife
  • Pastry brush
  • Small frying pan
  • Medium mixing bowl
  • whisk

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  2. In a small frying pan, cook the breakfast sausages until fully cooked. Once cooked, slice them into rounds and set aside.
  3. Using a bread knife, cut a deep V down the length of the baguette. Take care to not cut through the bottom of the baguette, leaving a 1/2-inch lip around the edges.
  4. Gently pull out the center of the baguette and all of the extra crumbs to create a hollow boat shape.
  5. Using a pastry brush, brush the melted butter on the inside of the hollowed bread.
  6. Place the baguette onto the lined baking tray and set aside.
  7. In a medium-sized mixing bowl combine the eggs and milk, whisk to combine.
  8. Into the eggs add the sharp cheddar cheese, mozzarella, scallions, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, salt and pepper. Stir to combine.
  9. Pour the egg mixture into the prepared baguette.
  10. Place the sliced sausage rounds in the middle, down the length of the baguette.
  11. Bake for 30-35 minutes until the eggs are fully set. Remove from the oven and allow to rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Save the bread you pulled out to make breadcrumbs or croutons. Let rest 5-10 minutes before slicing for cleaner cuts. Can be assembled the night before and refrigerated - add 5 minutes to baking time if cooking from cold.
