Ingredients for Baked Egg Boats

  • Sourdough Baguettes
  • 4 large eggs
  • Heavy Cream
  • 4 slices pancetta, cooked and crumbled (or 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled)
  • Gruyere Cheese
  • Green Onions
  • Salt and pepper to taste

How to Make Baked Egg Boats

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Cut a deep V-shaped slit into the top of each baguette, stopping about ½ inch from the bottom.
  3. Gently pull apart the baguette halves to create a small cavity, but don't remove too much bread.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and cream.
  5. Add the cooked pancetta (or bacon), shredded cheese, chopped chives, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Whisk to combine.
  6. Spoon the egg mixture evenly into each baguette boat.
  7. Place the filled baguettes onto a baking sheet.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the egg mixture is set, the bread is golden brown, and the filling is puffed.
  9. Let cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Garnish with extra chives, if desired.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
