Bacon & Egg Breakfast Boats

While the ingredients for breakfast sandwiches have been common elements of breakfast meals in the English-speaking world for centuries, it wasn’t until the 19th century in the United States that people began regularly eating eggs, cheese and meat in a sandwich. The first known published recipe for a ‘breakfast sandwich’ appeared in an 1897 American cookbook.

‘Baked egg boats’ became popular almost a decade ago and have been duplicated in many ways ever since! Basically, a quiche that uses a hollowed-out baguette as its base instead of a buttery pie crust. The egg filling is poured into the hollowed-out baguette and baked until the eggs have set, and the baguette is toasted.

This breakfast recipe can be scaled up to feed a larger crowd and is also very portable with endless variations and possibilities! It’s a simple, versatile breakfast at its best!

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 325 F.
  2. With a knife, cut out the middle of each baguette, making sure not to cut through the bottom. Take the cut part out. You should end up with a boat-like shape. The empty space should be deep enough & wide enough for filling.
  3. Place baguettes onto a baking tray lined with baking parchment. Set aside.
  4. In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs with a fork. Add in cherry tomatoes, green onion, half of the shredded cheese, bacon, salt, pepper and oregano. Mix well. Pour the mixture into the hollowed-out center of both baguettes.
  5. Transfer the tray into the oven & bake at 325 F. for 30 minutes or until eggs are set & puffed. Remove from oven & sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Bake for another 5 minutes.
  6. Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.

Breakfast Wrap Tortilla

The TikTok tortilla trend is one of the best ‘hacks’ on folding tortillas to come out of 2020 Covid quarantine.

Starting online with a simple threefold of a large flour tortilla, each layer contains a different ingredient that folds into a perfect triangle that is then toasted in a skillet or panini press for a hand-held snack. This wrap method is especially convenient for those on the go as the folds prevent the hot fillings from spilling out, which can happen with normal sandwich wraps or quesadillas.

Plus, the trend ensures that you’ll get a perfect bite of fillings every time.

These folded wraps are endlessly customizable, which makes them great for summer when we are all so busy with summer activities. Making a quick wrap and being able to run out the door or maybe just steal a quiet moment on the deck seems like the perfect idea to me.
