Instructions:
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare Baguettes:
- Slice the tops off the baguettes and hollow out the insides, leaving a shell about 1/2 inch thick.

- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.
- Fill Baguettes:
- Carefully pour the egg mixture into the hollowed-out baguettes, filling them almost to the top.
- If using a large baguette, you might need to do this in sections.
- Bake:
- Place the filled baguettes in the preheated oven.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and the tops are golden brown.
- Garnish and Serve:
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
- Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
- Slice the egg boats into serving pieces and serve warm.
Tips:
- Customization: Feel free to customize the filling with your favorite ingredients like mushrooms, onions, or different types of cheese.
- Make Ahead: You can prepare the egg mixture ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator. Fill the baguettes just before baking.
- Serving Suggestion: Serve with a side salad or fresh fruit for a complete meal.
