Equipment

  • Bowls + spatula + whisk
  • Baking sheet with parchment paper or foil
  • Cutting board and paring knife

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Tbsp. butter or oil
  • 10 large eggs
  • 2 Tbsp. milk
  • 2 stalks of green onion, thinly sliced
  • Salt and Pepper
  • 1 loaf of French bread
  • 1 brick of Boursin cheese, OR ½ cup smooth/whipped cream cheese (You can also use a hollandaise sauce in its place, or on one half of the bread)
  • 1 cup of either cooked and crumbled sausage or ham; OR You can also use 6 strips of cooked and chopped bacon
  • 1 ½ cups shredded cheese
  • Optional: peppers and whatever “pizza” toppings you love

Instructions
 

  • Let’s preheat our ovens to 350F and cover a baking sheet either with parchment paper or foil. Set this aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, half of green onions, peppers (if using), then the salt + pepper until well combined.
  • In a large frying pan, let’s add our eggs to medium heat and cook until gently scrambled. We don’t want to overcook them as they’ll have a bit of time in the oven at the end.
  • Let’s now cut our baguette/bread in half and spread the softened cheese over both halves. **You can also use hollandaise, for an even more decadent “sauce."
  • Carefully divide the scrambled eggs over the 2 halves of bread.
  • Sprinkle “boats” with sausage or ham or bacon (or all three), other half of green onion, cheese and whatever other “toppings” you’ve chosen.
  • Bake until the cheese is melted and everything smells amazing, about 10-12 minutes. **All ovens vary, so watch the timing.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Cut and serve warm. Enjoy!
