Did you ever want to make a recipe so badly but you knew you shouldn't because it probably isn't the best thing for you to eat? This is that recipe for me. And let me just say, I'm so glad I made it because it is freaking amazing!! I think I'm in love. It was that good.
Now here's the downfall to this recipe...I ate the entire thing by myself. So I ate a small loaf of french bread for breakfast. Not the smartest food choices I've ever made that's for sure. Fortunately the bread serving size was for 3 so I don't feel that awful about it...but I probably should. :)
4 demi sourdough baguettes (I could not find these!)
5 eggs (I used 1/4 cup of egg substitute)
1/3 cup heavy cream (I used about 2 tbsp skim milk instead)
4 ounces pancetta, finely chopped and fried until crisp (I used 3 pieces of Canadian bacon)
3 ounces Gruyere cheese, grated (I used 1/8 cup of cheddar)
2 green onions, thinly sliced
salt and pepper to taste
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 cream 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 20 to 25 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.
