I first saw this recipe on The Chew.    I catch it during my ‘lunch hour’.     I like to think of watching the show as a work related training class….love my job!  I thought it was such an original recipe.  That is until I searched it on Pinterest and saw it has been done and done. I am such a late bloomer.    But I pressed on because frankly, I wanted to eat it!

I used two small french bread baguettes and cut a V shaped down the center.  Pulled out a bit of the bread (save for homemade breadcrumbs!), leaving about a half inch.    Enough so the eggs don’t soak through.  Sourdough works great with these as well…I just couldn’t find the small baguettes so settled for French.

You an easily switch out the ham for sausage and incorporate any veggies or cheese you wanted.  We ate these for breakfast for a few days and they held up great in the refrigerator.  It’s a great brunch recipe to make in advance.  Wrap in a paper towel and reheat in the microwave for a minute (careful not to overheat so the bread doesn’t get chewy).  Or wrap in foil and reheat at 325 degrees in the oven for about 15 minutes.  Serve with fruit and mimosa’s and you got a pretty impressive breakfast!
