Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 demi sourdough baguettes (my “demis” were still big, so I used 2, but if yours are smaller you can use more)
- 5 eggs
- 1/3 cup (80 ml) milk (original recipe called for heavy cream, but i used low fat lactaid milk and it was still great)
- 4 oz (115 g) turkey bacon or deli turkey, finely chopped and cooked until crisp
- 3 oz (90 g) grated cheese (cheddar, gruyere, fontina, anything that melts well)
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- 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 milk 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 30 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.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I hollow out the baguette without tearing it apart?
The recipe says to cut a deep “V” through the top of each demi baguette, stopping about ½ inch from the bottom, then partially unstuff the interior bread. This leaves enough structure to hold the egg mixture during the 30-minute bake at 350°F without the boat collapsing or leaking.
Can I use regular milk instead of heavy cream?
Yes — the recipe notes the original called for heavy cream but the author used low-fat lactaid milk instead and found it “still great.” The recipe uses ? cup of whichever milk you choose, whisked with 5 eggs and the other fillings.
