This is a fun breakfast or brunch recipe, courtesy of Giada DeLaurentiis. I loved this recipe the moment I first saw it on her show and I have made it several times since then. You can customize it to your liking, using whatever bread and herbs you have on hand.
The idea is to hollow out a loaf of bread. This "hollowed out" bread is cut or torn into cubes and used at a later time. An egg mixture is then poured into the cavity of the bread. The "extra" bread then gets cubed up and added back on top of the egg mixture and baked. The end result is a crispy outer coating on the bread and a creamy interior. We enjoyed this with some fresh fruit. You can find the recipe here.

I love Giada and her recipes--my dad has a serious crush on her, so maybe I should make this for him! Haha
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your awards! And thank you so much for passing them on! The hollowed out bread idea sounds fun. I think my son would like making this. Although the inner bread would not be used "at a later time." He'd just eat it right there.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the awards! This looks like an awesome recipe as well. Looks like a great idea for brunch in our house :)

ReplyDeleteCool awards - congrats! I would do this recipe for a brunch. Nice post!
ReplyDeleteThis looks very delectable and fun to change up. Congrats on your well-deserved awards!
ReplyDeleteThis definitely looks like a winner Giada recipe. You had me at focaccia though. It is my favorite kind of bread!
ReplyDeleteI can vouch that this is delicious. I made it once and forgot to take a photo. It was so good. The minute I saw it on her show, I wanted it. Now I'll have to make it again. I had looked for a Challah bread last time, but had to use a ciabatta.
ReplyDeleteI would have jumped at this recipe too! Sounds exactly like something we would love. Hope you don't mind if I snatch another recipe from your blog!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your awards! I love eggy and bready (are those words?) stuff for breakfast, so I'd be all over this.
