Father's Day eggs in bread


i got his one from watching giada de laurentis on foodnetwork. i adapted to what i already had. this is how it turned out.


1 loaf left over french bread
3 large farmer's market brown eggs
1 c. heavy cream
1/2 c. olive oil w/ 4 tsp. lemon juice whisked in
2 TBS. chopped tarragon
1 c. grated parmesan cheese
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
salt and pepper

oven 350

cut the top of the loaf of bread, save. hollow out the middle to make it like a bowl. brush the inside and edges with olive oil/ lemon juice mixture. put on cookie sheet and toast in oven for the amount of time it takes you to do the rest of the recipe. chop the top of the bread into small squares, place a mixing bowl. whisk eggs, cream, and nutmeg until smooth. add tarragon and cheese, salt and pepper. put over bread cubes. incorporate bread with a spoon to make sure it soaks up all the egg mixture. take the bread out of the oven. pour the eggs into the middle. put it back into the oven. bake until set and bread is crispy, about 30 minutes. once baked, let it cool and set for about 15 minutes. then, slice it into 1 in slices.

other things i will try in the future with this recipe.

pancetta with rosemary and mild goat cheese
sweet sausage with spinach and swiss cheese
canadian bacon with chives and cheddar cheese
spinach, garlic, olives, basil, feta
mushrooms, rosemary, roasted garlic, brie

man, the options are endless. try this your way and let me know what works and what doesn't.
