Ingredients
- 1 loaf French bread
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup diced bell peppers
- 1/2 cup diced onions
- 1/2 cup cooked sausage, crumbled
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Slice the French bread lengthwise in half, creating two long halves. Place the bread cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet.
- In a skillet, sauté the diced onions and bell peppers over medium heat until they become soft and slightly translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them thoroughly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Distribute the cooked sausage crumbles evenly across the surface of the bread halves.
- Sprinkle the sautéed onions and bell peppers over the sausage.
- Pour the whisked eggs carefully over the bread, ensuring even coverage across both halves.
- Top the eggs with shredded mozzarella cheese, covering the entire surface.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the cheese is melted and golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes. Slice into individual portions and serve immediately while hot.
Tips
- Choose a fresh, high-quality French bread with a crispy exterior and soft interior for the best texture.
- Pre-cooking your sausage and vegetables ensures they're flavorful and prevents excess moisture on your bread.
- Whisk eggs thoroughly and season well to create a rich, flavorful base.
- Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup a breeze.
- Watch the oven carefully in the last few minutes to achieve that perfect golden-brown cheese topping without burning.
- For variations, experiment with different cheeses like cheddar or pepper jack, or swap sausage with bacon or ham.
- Serve immediately while hot and cheese is still melty for the best taste and texture.
