Scramblewiches
- 1 baguette (day-old is fine)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/2 pound deli-sliced ham, smoked turkey, pastrami, or corned beef
- 8 large eggs
- A splash of milk
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 4 deli slices of Swiss cheese (halved lengthwise to fit bread), or 8 slices of Cheddar (2 squares per bread), or 6 slices of Provolone cheese (1 1/2 slices per bread, cut to fit)
- Chopped fresh chives or flat-leaf parsley, to garnish
- Preheat the oven to 200F.
- Crisp the bread in the low oven, split it lengthwise, and hollow it out.
- Cut each bread in half again, across, making 4 boats.
- Switch the broiler on.
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
- Add the butter and melt it.
- When the bubbles stop, add the meat and cook, separating the pieces, for 3 minutes, or until brown at the edges.
- In a bowl, beat the eggs with the milk, hot sauce, salt, and pepper.
- Add to the meat and scramble, keeping the eggs a little soft.
- They will continue to cook in the oven.
- Divide the eggs among the bread and cover with the cheese.
- Melt the cheese under the broiler.
- Take it out as soon as the cheese softens and melts.
- Do not brown or allow the cheese to bubble; there are eggs under there!
- Garnish with the chopped chives or parsley and serve.
