Bacon, Egg, and Cheese Breakfast Bread Boat

A standard 18-inch French baguette holds five large eggs mixed with heavy cream, crisp bacon, and shredded cheese without overflowing. Standard 1500-watt air fryers need lower heat than a conventional oven to avoid burning the top crust before the interior egg sets completely.

Carving out the top of the bread properly prevents liquid leaks on your sheet pan. Leaving a half-inch shell along the sides and bottom creates a solid vessel for the custard mixture.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, mix eggs, cream, bacon, cheese, and onions.

2. Cut a long rectangle through the top of the baguette and partially unstuff the baguette.

3. Spoon the mixture into the baguette.

4. Bake for 25 minutes at 350°F (175°C).

5. Cut and serve while still warm.

Cook's note: Keep a half-inch border of bread on all sides to hold the egg filling without leaking. Air fryer timing assumes a 1500-watt basket model.
