Ingredients

  • 2 Baguettes
  • 10 Eggs 5 per loaf
  • 8 slices Cooked Bacon or other preferred protein
  • 2/3 cup Shredded Cheese
  • 4 sliced Green Onions
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Pepper
  • 1/2 tsp Red Pepper Flakes

Instructions

  • Preheat the smoker to 350 F. and set the grill for indirect heat.
  • Precook the bacon to desired crispness (or any other protein preferred to use for this recipe).
  • Take each baguette and use a pairing knife to carefully slice around the top edges of the baguette without cutting all the way through. Use your fingers to pull out the inside pieces of bread to create a hollow space for the egg mixture to go. Save the discarded bread to use as croutons or filling for smoked stuffing.
  • Place 1/3 cup of shredded cheese across the bottom of each baguette. Do not overfill with extra cheese (this changes the texture of the eggs).
  • Next, add in the slices of bacon (or other protein) and green onions into the bread loaf. Add the loaves over a wire rack (this makes it easier to transfer on and off the grill).
  • In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs. Do NOT add any liquid to the eggs as this can effect them from becoming solidified while cooking.
  • Carefully pour half the egg mixture into one baguette and half into the other.
  • Transfer the egg boats onto the grill grates of the smoker and close the lid. Smoke for 30-35 minutes or until the eggs are fully set and puff up and lightly browned.
  • Remove the egg boats from the smoker and let them rest 5 minutes before slicing into individual portions.

Notes

Avoid adding veggies that have a lot of liquid in them (like greens and mushrooms and tomatoes) that can impact how the eggs fully set up. 
This recipe also works in the oven! Bake at 350 F. for 30-35 minutes. Keep the loaves on a baking sheet for easy transfer in and out of the oven (don't bake directly on the rack).
