Pizza on a baguette for breakfast

topcook.tomathouse.com

Ingredients:

  • 1 loaf soft French or Italian baguette (about 350 g), cut in half lengthwise
  • 3 tbsp. l. olive oil
  • 8 strips bacon (about 170 g)
  • 8 large eggs
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup prepared spicy mayonnaise, such as Sriracha or chipotle sauce
  • 170 g soft cheddar, grated on a coarse grater (about 1.5 cups)
  • Hot sauce, for serving

Preparation:

  1. Preheat the oven to broil. Cut each slice of bread in half crosswise, then place cut-side up on a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Grill until the bread is lightly toasted and browned around the edges, about 2 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crisp, turning as needed, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain; discard any rendered fat from the skillet.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the eggs, half of the green onions, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and a pinch of freshly ground black pepper. Then, pour into the hot skillet. Cook, stirring with a heatproof silicone spatula, until the eggs are set in large, soft clumps, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat.
  4. Spread the toasted bread slices with spicy mayonnaise, then sprinkle with about half of the cheddar. Top each pizza with 2 slices of bacon. Evenly spread the scrambled eggs on top, then top with the remaining cheese.
  5. Return the bread to the oven and broil until all the cheese is melted, about 1 minute. Sprinkle each pizza with the remaining green onions and serve drizzled with hot sauce.
