Egg Boats

Source: Spoon Fork Bacon

how cute huh?


Ingredients
2 baby baguettes or 1 large sourdough baguettes
3-4 eggs
6 slices bacon
cheese: I used Boursin but you can try gruyere or gouda (something fancy)!
2 green onions chopped
salt and pepper


Directions
1. Cook the bacon and chop up.
2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
3. Whisk the eggs and add cheese, onions, chopped bacon and s&p.
4. Cut a deep V in your bread. Pull out the insides and go ahead and stuff it in your mouth. I know you want to. Make sure you don't cut on the ends, only the top! I made this mistake and eggs were oozing out both ends. I also think it's better to use a large baguette versus two baby ones.
5. Pour your egg mix into the baguette carefully.
6. Cook for 20-25 minutes, until eggs are almost cooked in the middle and take out of oven. Its important that they aren't cooked all the way because they will continue to cook. No one likes overcooked eggs!

Ian and I enjoyed these but I don't think they turned out as well as we were expecting. A couple things we did wrong: cooked it too long and the eggs were dried out, uses two baby baguettes and as cute as they were I think it would be better in a large one, and cut on the ends so the mixture was oozing out. I'm not giving up though! Next time I think I will use gruyere and maybe sausage?

Enjoy!
