Ingredients

  • 1 baguette

  • 3 eggs

  • 2 tablespoons whole milk

  • 1 ¼ cups shredded fontina cheese

  • cup chopped spinach

  • 2 strips cooked bacon, crumbled

  • 2 tablespoons diced sun-dried tomatoes

  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper

  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Make a V-shaped cut in the baguette, leaving ends intact. Lift out V-shaped wedge. Hollow out baguette gently to make a long, skinny bread bowl, being careful not to cut through the bottom or sides. Place baguette on the prepared baking sheet.

  3. Whisk eggs in a bowl. Add milk; whisk until well blended. Stir in fontina cheese, spinach, bacon, sun-dried tomatoes, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Pour mixture slowly into the prepared baguette, spreading evenly with a spoon.

  4. Bake in the preheated oven until egg mixture is completely set and cheese is lightly browned, about 30 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes; cut into 1 1/2-inch slices.

Cook's Note:

If using frozen spinach, thaw before using.
