Ingredients
You only need a few simple ingredients to make this flavorful breakfast loaf:
- 6 large eggs
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon pepper
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 round loaf (1 pound) French bread
- 6 ounces sliced deli ham, divided
- 3/4 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese, divided
- 3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided
- 1/2 medium sweet red pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 medium tomato, thinly sliced
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Melt the butter in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are scrambled and set. Remove from heat.
- Cut the top off the round loaf of French bread and hollow out the center, leaving about a 1-inch layer of bread. Reserve the top of the loaf.
- Layer half of the scrambled eggs inside the hollowed-out bread, followed by half of the deli ham, Monterey Jack cheese, cheddar cheese, sweet red pepper slices, and tomato slices. Repeat the layers with the remaining ingredients.
- Place the reserved top of the loaf back onto the bread.
- Wrap the loaf tightly in aluminum foil and place it on a baking sheet. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the loaf is heated through.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
