Ingredients You’ll Need for Christmas Morning Quiche Baguette

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
4 large eggs
1 cup milk
1 cup cooked sausage (crumbled)
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional: chopped vegetables (e.g. bell peppers, onions, spinach)

How to Make Christmas Morning Quiche Baguette

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cut the baguette in half lengthwise and hollow out the inside to create space for the filling.
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Stir in the cheddar cheese, crumbled sausage, and any optional vegetables you’d like to add.
Pour the egg mixture into the hollowed baguette halves, filling them generously.
Place the filled baguette on a baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the egg is set and the top is beautifully golden.
Allow to cool slightly before slicing and serving to your eager guests.

Delicious Variations to Try

Veggie Delight: Add sautéed spinach, diced bell peppers, and onions for a colorful and nutritious twist.
Herb Infusion: Mix in fresh herbs like chives, parsley, or thyme to elevate the flavor profile with each bite.
Spicy Kick: Include some diced jalapeños or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for a zesty touch.
Ham and Cheese: Swap the sausage for diced ham and consider using a blend of cheeses for a heartier version.

Chef Emma’s Helpful Tips

Make-Ahead Option: Prepare the filling the night before and store it in the refrigerator. When you’re ready to bake, simply fill the hollowed baguette and pop it in the oven.
Cutting Technique: Use a serrated knife to slice the baguette; this will prevent smashing the bread and keep its shape beautiful.
Storage Tips: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator and are best enjoyed within two days.
Reheating Tip: Microwave individual slices for a quick breakfast or pop them in the oven for a few minutes to retain that lovely crispy exterior.
