Now, the second thing I have never done is throw away the inside of a baguette. It actually made me cringe tonight when I had to not only spoon out the inside of the bread loaf but throw it away as well since it would not keep by tomorrow. (Although, I did throw a couple chunks to both Axl and Mick, which did make me feel a little better it was not completely going to waste!)
Regardless, this is a different kind of quiche because the filling is usually in some kind of starchy, pastry dough. With the thick crust from the baguette, this recipe is much more substantial and is almost like a mix between a quiche and a thick calzone. I found this recipe from http://chocolateandcarrots.com/2012/05/quiche-baguettes.
Ingredients:
* 1 Large Baguette
* Turkey Sausage (7 oz) (or your preferred meat)
* 5 Egg Whites (3 oz = 1 Egg)
* 2 Eggs
* 1 Package of Thawed, Chopped Spinach
* 1/2 Onion
* 2 Small Tomatoes
* 1/2 cup of Shredded Marble Cheddar Cheese (or your preferred choice)
* 4 long, thin slices of Fontina Cheese
* 2 Tbsp of Extra Virgin Olive Oil
* 1 tsp of Red Pepper Flakes
Cooking Directions:
First, preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Cut out a long rectangle from the top of the baguette and remove the inside of the bread. Place the baguette on a cookie sheet.
Dice the onion and the sausage on a cutting board.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl whisk the Egg Whites, 2 Eggs, and the Red Pepper Flakes.
In a frying pan, heat 2 Tablespoons of Extra Virgin Olive Oil over medium heat. Add the onion and the sausage and once cooked remove from heat and add to the mixing bowl.
Add the thawed spinach and mix together.
Pour the mixture into the baguette.
Dice the tomatoes and lay them on top of the mixture.
Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top and then add the 4 slices of Fontina Cheese.
Place the baguette in the oven and cook for an hour.
