Ingredients:

  • 1 large loaf Sourdough or French Boule (approx. 1 lb)
  • 2 tbsp Unsalted butter, melted
  • 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
  • 8 large Organic eggs
  • 0.25 cup Heavy cream
  • 0.5 tsp Sea salt
  • 0.25 tsp Freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1 tbsp Chives, finely minced
  • 6 strips thick-cut bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 1.5 cups Sharp Cheddar cheese, freshly grated

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Using a serrated knife, cut a rectangular lid out of the top of the sourdough loaf, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
  2. Hollow out the center of the loaf, leaving about 1 inch of bread on the bottom to create a sturdy vessel.
  3. Whisk together 2 tbsp melted butter and 0.5 tsp garlic powder, then brush the inside of the loaf generously.
  4. Layer 0.75 cups of the cheddar cheese across the bottom of the bread bowl. until the bread surface is fully covered.
  5. Beat 8 large eggs, 0.25 cup heavy cream, 0.5 tsp sea salt, and 0.25 tsp pepper in a bowl until no streaks of white remain.
  6. Scramble the egg mixture in a non stick skillet over medium low heat until large, wet curds form (about 3 minutes). They should look underdone!
  7. Fold in 6 strips of crumbled bacon and 1 tbsp minced chives into the wet eggs.
  8. Spoon the egg mixture into the bread loaf and top with the remaining 0.75 cups of cheese.
  9. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until the cheese is bubbling and the bread edges are golden brown.
