More About This Recipe

  • Eggs, bacon and cheese inside a bread boat? YES. Brunchtime just got even better. Now, sometimes all you want early in the morning is something light like yogurt, or a grab-and-go breakfast bar. But, about 9:30 am, after a good run, that's when it hits. The mega mama protein craving that REQUIRES something eggy, cheesy, and either bready or a tortilla-y. Listen and listen good, y'all. BAKED EGG BOATS FOR. THE. WIN. Seriously. You par-bake some Pillsbury™ refrigerated French bread, rip out some innards, fill it with your favorite breakfast fillings, let it finish baking and DEVOUR. This recipe inspired by Spoon Fork Bacon makes two 5-inch boaties. Which is perfect for a lazy Sunday morning date style brunch. Or right now. Not joking when we say that when you taste how incredible that filling is with the chewy French bread, you will want to make these every morning.
