These hearty, cheesy sausage and egg boats are baked to perfection in crusty bread rolls and packed with flavor, protein, and morning energy. Ideal for brunches, meal prep, or weekend breakfast treats, they bring together crispy sausage, fluffy eggs, melty cheese, and garden herbs—all in one bite.

Ingredients

Scale

  • 4 small baguettes or crusty sandwich rolls (cut and hollowed)

  • 4 large eggs

  • 1 cup cooked breakfast sausage (crumbled or sliced)

  • ¾ cup shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese

  • ½ cup red bell pepper, finely chopped

  • ¼ cup fresh parsley or chives, chopped

  • Salt and black pepper to taste

  • 1 tbsp olive oil or melted butter (optional, for brushing bread edges)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  2. Cut off the tops of the rolls and hollow out the center, leaving sturdy walls to hold the filling.

  3. Lightly brush the inside with olive oil or butter.

  4. Fill each roll with sausage, peppers, and cheese.

  5. Carefully crack an egg on top of each filled roll.

  6. Season with salt, pepper, and chopped herbs.

  7. Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until egg whites are set but yolks remain soft.

  8. Remove, cool slightly, and serve warm.
