Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 demi baguettes
- 6 eggs
- 150 grams (5.3 ounces) beef bacon
Cheese and Herbs:
- 100 grams (3.5 ounces) mozzarella cheese (shredded)
- 45 grams (1.6 ounces) grated parmesan
- 2 tablespoons basil (chopped)
- 2 tablespoons parsley (chopped)
- 2 tablespoons parsley (finely chopped)
Seasonings and Additions:
- 1 tablespoon garlic (finely minced)
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 120 milliliters (1/2 cup) unsalted butter (melted)
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 400°F, preparing a workspace for crafting savory bread boats.
- Create a flavor-packed garlic butter by whisking melted butter with parsley, minced garlic, parmesan, salt, black pepper, and oregano in a small mixing bowl.
- Slice the baguettes into three distinct sections, carefully carving out three wells in each bread segment.
- Generously coat the interior and exterior of each bread well with the prepared garlic butter mixture.
- Layer uncooked beef bacon at the bottom of each bread well, followed by a sprinkle of mozzarella cheese.
- Gently crack a fresh egg into each cheese-lined well, allowing the ingredients to nestle together.
- Transfer the prepared bread boats to the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, adjusting time for larger eggs to ensure proper cooking.
- Remove from the oven once egg whites are completely set and firm.
- Elevate the dish by garnishing with a final dusting of salt, cracked black pepper, freshly chopped basil, additional parsley, extra parmesan, and a light sprinkle of red pepper flakes for a burst of heat and flavor.
Notes
- Customize the bread type by using sourdough, whole wheat, or gluten-free bread for different dietary needs.
- Pre-cook beef bacon slightly to reduce excess fat and ensure crispier texture during baking.
- Adjust baking time based on egg doneness preference – less time for runny yolks, more time for firm yolks.
- Use turkey bacon or vegetarian bacon alternatives for lower-fat or meat-free variations of the dish.
