Egg Baguette Bakes - Bhg

• 2 pounds baguettes or French, unsliced, 14x4-inch
• 8 ounces mild Italian sausage or sweet
• 1 sweet pepper medium red or yellow, chopped, 3/4 cup
• 1/2 cup sliced green onions
• 10 eggs lightly beaten
• 2/3 cup whipping cream half-and-half, or light cream
• 1/4 cup fresh basil snipped
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/2 cups shredded fontina mozzarella, or provolone cheese, 6 ounces

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 15x10x1-inch baking pan with parchment paper. Using a serrated knife, cut a wedge into the top of each loaf cutting to about 1 inch from each long side. Use a spoon or your fingers to carefully remove the inside of each loaf, leaving about 3/4-inch shell. Arrange bread shells on the prepared baking pan.
2. Remove casings from sausage, if present. In a large skillet crumble and cook sausage with sweet peppers about 8 minutes or until sausage is cooked and peppers are just tender, stirring in the green onions the last minute of cooking. Remove from heat; drain off fat.
3. In a large bowl combine eggs, whipping cream, basil, and salt. Stir in sausage mixture and 1 cup of the cheese.
4. Carefully pour egg mixture into bread shells. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup cheese. Bake, uncovered, for 35 to 40 minutes or until eggs are set (160 degrees F).
5. Let stand for 5 minutes. Using a serrated knife, carefully cut loaves into slices.
