Sausage and Cheese Egg Boats
Ingredients:
- For the Boats:
- 4 hoagie rolls or French bread rolls
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- For the Filling:
- 8 ounces breakfast sausage, casings removed
- 1/2 cup diced onion
- 1/2 cup diced bell pepper (any color)
- 6 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite blend)
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Fresh parsley or chives, for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare the Bread:
- Slice the hoagie rolls in half lengthwise, creating a “boat” shape.
- Hollow out the insides slightly to create space for the filling. Save the removed bread for later use or discard.
- Brush the cut sides of the rolls with olive oil and sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Place the rolls on a baking sheet, cut side up, and bake for about 5-7 minutes until slightly toasted. Remove from the oven and set aside.
- Cook the Sausage:
- In a skillet over medium heat, add the breakfast sausage. Cook until browned and crumbled, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the diced onion and bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Prepare the Egg Mixture:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Stir in the cooked sausage mixture and half of the shredded cheese.
- Fill the Boats:
- Evenly distribute the egg and sausage mixture among the toasted hoagie rolls.
- Top with the remaining shredded cheese.
- Bake:
- Return the filled rolls to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve:
- Once baked, let the egg boats cool slightly. Garnish with fresh parsley or chives if desired.
- Serve warm and enjoy your delicious Sausage and Cheese Egg Boats!
