Cheesy Sausage Egg Bread Boats

Cheesy Sausage Egg Bread Boats combine creamy, custardy eggs with crumbled breakfast sausage and melted Cheddar Jack nestled inside a crisp, toasty loaf. Each slice balances rich, gooey cheese with sweet red bell pepper and a hint of green onion for freshness. Ideal for a weekend brunch, game day snack, or breakfast-for-dinner spread.

Cheesy Sausage Egg Bread Boats
  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir the sausage in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain any excess grease, then set aside to cool slightly.

  3. 3

    With a serrated knife, slice off the top layer of the bread to reveal the interior. Remove most of the inside to make a well for the fillings. Spread 3/4 cup cheese along the bottom of the bread, then place the bread on the prepared baking sheet.

  4. 4

    Whisk the eggs, cream, salt, and pepper in a large bowl until well combined. Stir in the cooked sausage, bell pepper, green onions, and the remaining cheese; pour the mixture into the prepared bread loaf.

  5. 5

    Bake in the preheated oven until the eggs are set, 35 to 40 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
