Baked egg boats are what brunch dreams are made of! They are very simple to make, yet they look very fancy, and they are perfect served up for a yummy brunch.
This recipe replaces the traditional crust of a quiche with a hollowed out baguette. Which is arguably more delicious.
Then it is stuffed with a cheesy egg mixture and topped with breakfast sausage.

Making a breakfast quiche in a baguette
This recipe is very simple and straight forward to make.
First, you will need to hollow out a baguette, you'll want to use a baguette that is approximately 20"-24" in length.
Place the baguette on a flat surface and using a serrated knife, starting about ½" from the edge of the bread (you'll want to leave a "lip" around the edge) cut a "V" into the bread.
Do not cut all the way through the bread, you will want to be very careful to not puncture the bottom or the sides.
Pull out the bread to hollow out the baguette.
This creates the "egg boat" crust for the quiche mixture to go in.
Pro Tip: You can save the bread that you pulled out of the middle to make breadcrumbs or croutons!

After the baguette is hollowed out, brush the inside with melted butter. Place the baguette on the baking sheet and set aside.
Now that your crust is prepared, you will need to mix the ingredients for the quiche.
Cook the breakfast sausages, chop into rounds and set aside.
In a small bowl add the eggs and milk. Whisk to combine, and then add the sharp cheddar cheese, mozzarella, scallions, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, salt and pepper, stir to combine.
Assembling the egg boats
Pour the egg mixture into the prepared baguette.
Top with the breakfast sausage rounds and then bake.
After about 30 minutes in the oven the baked egg boat will be golden brown and ready to eat!
Substitutions
- Breakfast Sausage- instead of breakfast sausage, you can use bacon or ham.
- Cheese- any hard cheese's will work for this recipe. You can use cheese's like provolone, havarti, monterey jack, marble, etc.
- Baguette- instead of using a baguette as the "crust" you can also use multiple ciabatta buns.
Storage
Store the leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
To reheat: in a microwave safe container, remove the lid and microwave for 1 ½ minutes. Replace the lid and let sit for 3 minutes so the bread can steam.
