How To Make A Sausage And Egg Baguette Bake
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Tips
- Don’t over-hollow the bread. Leave about ½ inch on the sides so it holds the filling without leaking.
- Watch the crust. If it starts browning too quickly, tent with foil for the last 10–15 minutes.
- Cheese options. Fontina melts beautifully, but mozzarella, provolone, or cheddar work just fine.
- Rest before slicing. Give it at least 5 minutes out of the oven so the eggs finish setting.
Variations
- Use sweet or hot/spicy Italian, your choice. Or swap Italian sausage for breakfast sausage, chorizo, or even bacon.
- Add extra veggies like mushrooms, spinach, or jalapeños for more flavor.
- Go Tex-Mex with pepper jack cheese and salsa on the side.
- Make minis using smaller baguettes for individual portions.
