Baked Eggs in Bread Boat

Baked Eggs in Bread Boat filled with eggs, sausage, vegetables, and cheese is the best way to start the day! Crusty french loaves baked until golden and bubbly are perfect for everyday breakfast or a special Sunday brunch.

The way G sang praises about this baked eggs in bread boat I made for breakfast, you’d think I was a kitchen goddess who came down from pots-and-pans heaven to grace mortal cooks. Ingenious, creative and awesome were but a few of his delicious compliments.

Naturally, I basked in the glory and didn’t admit that I found this idea on Pinterest and simply worked the egg filling with whatever odds and ends we had in the fridge.

These egg boats are truly amazing! Aside from serving up nice and pretty for breakfast, brunch or any time of the day, they’re pretty customizable. There are so many delicious ways to make this your own.

I filled mine up with eggs, sausage, sweet peppers, and mushrooms but you can definitely use whatever odds and ends you have in the fridge. Fresh spinach, cherry tomatoes, cubed ham, crisp bacon, artichokes, diced zucchinis or whatever floats your boat (excuse the pun).
