Breakfast in a Baguette

This is my take on a recipe I found in one of Anita's Martha Stewart magazines. It's quite easy to make and rather good.


The original recipe calls for using prosciutto. Instead, I used crumbled thick-cut applewood smoked bacon.

Ingredients:

• 1 baguette
• 6 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 3 tablespoons sour cream (or milk)
• 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
• 1/2 cup fresh grated Parmesan
• 4 slices thick cut bacon

1. Preheat oven to 350 F.

2. Cook bacon until crisp. Drain. Break into 1/2" pieces.

3. Cut top 1/4" off the baguette and hollow out the insides and discard. Break the top into bite-sized pieces and reserve.

4. Place eggs, sour cream, parsley, Parmesan and a dash of salt and pepper into a bowl and whisk. Stir in the bread pieces.

5. Place baguette on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Sprinkle insides with the bacon pieces. Pour in the egg mixture.

6. Bake until eggs are fluffy and done, 30-35 minutes. Slice into 2" pieces and serve.
