This baguette brunch bake is versatile for any occasion. I’m making it again this weekend for Mother’s Day. Simply choose your filling ingredients, I prefer beyond sausage links, sharp cheddar cheese, sundried tomatoes, spinach, mushrooms, and red peppers. Next, pour the egg mixture over top and bake inside of a baguette.
You can also make this gluten-free and vegetarian!

Health Benefits of Eggs
Eggs are one of the most nutritious foods you can eat.
A whole egg contains all the nutrients required to turn a single cell into a baby chicken.
A single large boiled egg contains:
- Vitamin A: 6% of the RDA
- Folate: 5% of the RDA
- B5: 7% of the RDA
- B12: 9% of the RDA
- B2: 15% of the RDA
- Phosphorus: 9% of the RDA
- Selenium: 22% of the RDA
- Eggs also contain vitamin D, vitamin E, vitamin K, vitamin B6, calcium, and zinc
This comes with 77 calories, 6 grams of protein, and 5 grams of healthy fats.
Eggs are pretty much the perfect food. They contain a little bit of almost every nutrient you need.
If you can get your hands on omega-3 enriched eggs, these are even better. They contain higher amounts of omega-3 fat and are much higher in vitamin A and E .
History of Baguettes
There are several theories on the origins of the French baguette and according to one legend, Napoleon Bonaparte decreed that bread should be made in long thin sticks in order to fit into the pockets of his soldiers.
Another myth suggests that when work began on the Paris Métro in 1898, laborers were brought in from all over France to work on the groundbreaking project. Because of violent arguments between the different groups of men, bakers were asked to create bread that could be torn, rather than cut, so that knives could be outlawed.
One final theory explains that the iconic Gallic bread was the cause of the French Revolution since bread was the mainstay of the French diet and the peasants rioted at the sight of the nobility eating the crusty white sticks while they faced shortages and famine.
No one really knows who invented the modern-day baguette, but it’s said that the man who invented the croissant, Vienna-born baker August Zang, facilitated the loaf’s creation by installing France’s first steam oven, which made it possible to bake loaves with a crisp crust and a fluffy center, in his Boulangerie
