38 minPicture this: you slice into a golden round of crusty French bread and inside there are layers of fluffy scrambled eggs, deli ham, two kinds of melted cheese, sweet red peppers, and ripe tomato slices all stacked together like a savory breakfast cake.
That’s exactly what this breakfast loaf is. The bread gets hollowed out to create a shell, packed with all the good stuff, wrapped in foil, and baked until everything melds together into one warm, cheesy, carve-at-the-table masterpiece.
It feeds 6 with almost no stress, making it a brunch crowd-pleaser.
Kitchen Tips
- Leave a solid half-inch wall when hollowing out the bread. Too thin and it collapses under the filling.
- Don’t overcook the scrambled eggs. They’ll continue cooking in the oven, so pull them while they’re still slightly soft.
- Let the loaf rest 10 minutes after baking so the layers set and you get clean slices instead of a landslide.
- Use a serrated knife and cut slowly for the neatest presentation.
