Elegant Omelet Loaf
I first tried this one-of-a-kind sandwich loaf at a party and asked for the recipe. Now I make it both for special brunches and everyday meals.
6 ServingsPrep: 20 min. Bake: 20 min.

Ingredients

  • 1 unsliced round loaf (1 pound) French bread
  • 8 bacon strips, diced
  • 1 can (4 ounces) sliced mushrooms, drained
  • 1 small sweet red pepper, julienned
  • 5 eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons chopped chives
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1-1/2 cups (6 ounces) shredded mozzarella cheese

Directions

  • Cut a thin slice off the top of the bread; set aside. Hollow out
  • bottom half, leaving a 1/2-in. shell. (Discard removed bread or save
  • for another use.) In a large skillet, cook bacon and mushrooms until
  • bacon is crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon; set aside. Discard all
  • but 1 tablespoon drippings. Saute red pepper in drippings until
  • crisp-tender. Remove with a slotted spoon; set aside. Lightly beat
  • eggs with milk, chives and pepper; add to skillet along with
  • reserved bacon mixture. Cook and stir gently until eggs are set;
  • remove from the heat. Place bread shell on a large sheet of
  • heavy-duty foil. Spoon half of egg mixture into shell; sprinkle with
  • half of the red pepper and half of the cheese. Repeat layers.
  • Replace bread top and wrap bread tightly with foil. Bake at 400°
  • for 20-25 minutes or until filling is heated through. Let stand for
  • 5 minutes; cut into wedges. Yield: 6 servings.
