Baked Eggs in Bread

Ingredients:
  • 4 sourdough baguettes
  • 5 eggs
  • 1/3 cup heavy cream
  • 4 ounces pancetta, finely chopped and fried until crisp
  • 3 ounces gruyere cheese, grated
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • salt and pepper to taste 
Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
 
Cut a deep “V” through the tops of each baguette until about a 1/2 inch to the bottom. Partially unstuff the baguettes. Set aside.
 
Place the eggs and cream into a mixing bowl and lightly beat together. Whisk in the remaining ingredients and lightly season with salt and pepper.
 
Divide and pour the mixture into each baguette boat and place onto a baking sheet.
 
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown, puffed and set in the center. Season with salt and pepper.
 
Allow to cool for about 5 minutes, cut and serve.
