Happiness is, a good piece of bread and a stairway in Paris.

"How can you tell how good bread is without tasting it? Not the smell, not the look, but the sound of the crust. Listen. [bread crackles] Oh, symphony of crackle. Only great bread sound this way." - Colette, Ratatouille

Disclaimer: This is not a bread recipe, but it involves using your favorite crusty bread...think baguettes, with their wonderful crisp outside, soft and chewy inside...oh yes. I have not been everywhere in the world or tried all the bread, not even close, but of the places I have been, France has the best bread. And pastries. And butter. And lots of other things. The best part? You can go to just about any bakery, even the world renowned, and never pay more than 1.50 euro. That's less than $2 for the world's best bread. Unfortunately I'm not in France right now, so a package of demi-baguettes will have to do for this recipe.

Baked Egg Baguettes

Serves 4-8 (depending on if you want to eat a whole mini baguette or cut them in half)

Ingredients:

4 demi-baguettes
5 eggs
1/3 cup / 79g milk
1/4 small white onion, diced
2-3 green onions, chopped
3 oz / 85g smoked Gouda cheese, shredded
salt and pepper, to taste

Directions:

Oven preheated to 350°F / 177°C

Cut out the middle of each baguette, making a V shape, like a canoe shape.
Whisk together eggs and milk, beating lightly. Add in onion, green onion, and half of the cheese. Lightly salt and pepper. Divide evenly among the baguettes. Top each with the remaining cheese.
Place on a baking sheet or dish and bake for 20-25 minutes, until golden and the center is set and slightly puffed up. Allow to cool for a few minutes, then slice and serve.

Jenny's Notes:

This is a very quick and easy recipe to execute! You can add or adjust the add-ins as you wish. I also enjoy adding chopped spinach, mushrooms, diced red or green onion, or sun-dried tomatoes.
Substitute the smoked gouda with any of your favorite cheeses!
