I love breakfast. Not just the I-think-you’re-really-sweet kind of love, but the passionately serious I-want-to-elope-with-you-to-Las-Vegas-and-blow-all-our-money-on-the-slots kind of love. I don’t know whether I love it so much because it’s such a versatile meal – you can have sweet or savoury, crunchy or soft, hot or cold: breakfast is a very open and accepting meal, you know – or because I only eat it on weekends and it therefore symbolises a whole day ahead of me in which I get to do whatever I please whenever I feel like it.

Whatever the reason, I love breakfast and I love whipping up new and easy recipes for breakfast. Often I don’t really think about eating in the morning until I’m suddenly hit with an insatiable hunger that must be fed immediately. This is why I like breakfast recipes that are quick and easy to prepare with ingredients I probably already have sat in the fridge and cupboards.

These Baked Egg Boats only take a couple of minutes to put together and don’t take long to bake either. You don’t have to use the exact ingredients listed below – you can try a whole range of sliced meat and herbs.

Ingredients

1 small baguette

2 slices ham

2 eggs

Grated cheese

Parsley

Recipe

1. Pre-heat the oven to 180C/350F and scoop all the bread filling out of the baguette. Don’t throw it away though, you're going to need it later.

2. Line the bottom of each baguette boat with a slice of ham and top with a little grated cheese then crack an egg on top, being careful not to split the yolk.

3. Crumble the bread you scooped out of the baguettes until you have some small- and medium –sized crumbs. Mix the rest of the grated cheese and a little parsley into the breadcrumbs.

4. Sprinkle the crumbs on your baguette boats and place them in the oven for around 15-20 minutes or until the egg has set and the breadcrumbs are golden brown.
