Cheesy Baked Egg Boats

Servings: 4 large slices

Ingredients

  • 1 loaf Italian or French bread
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon everything bagel spice
  • 5 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup baby spinach
  • 1 cup shredded cheese blend
  • red pepper flakes
  • store-bought basil pesto
  • store-bought chili crisp
  • 1 recipe for Billionaire's bacon

Billionaire's Bacon

  • 6 slices bacon
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp everything bagel spice
  • 1 tsp cayenne pepper less for less spiciness
  • 1 tsp paprika

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350° F.
  • Remove the top 1/3 of the bread. Pull out some of the inside of the bread to create space for the eggs. Be conservative with the amount you pull out. You do want a thick layer of bread at the bottom. Rub with olive oil and sprinkle bagel seasoning, salt, and pepper. Bake for 5 minutes or until the bread is toasted.
  • Meanwhile, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and chili flakes. Stir in the spinach and 1/2 cup shredded cheese.
  • Sprinkle the bottom of the bread with the 1/4 cup cheese, then drizzle over a tablespoon or two of the pesto. Slowly pour in the eggs. Let the brad absorb the egg mixture for a few moments. Top with the remaining cheese. Bake 30 minutes, until just set in the center.
  • Top with bacon (recipe below!), pesto, and chili crisp. Enjoy!

Billionaire's Bacon

  • Preheat your oven to 375° F.
  • Line a baking pan with foil and lay our your bacon.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining ingredients. Sprinkle on top of the bacon.
  • Bake the bacon for about 15-20 minutes or until crispy.
