Ingredients
-
2 14 x 4-inch unsliced loaves Italian or French bread

8 ounce uncooked sweet or mild Italian sausage, casings removed

¼ cup chopped fresh basil
-
½ teaspoon salt

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a serrated knife, cut a wedge into tops of loaves. Using a spoon or your fingers, hollow out the center of each loaf. Place bread shells on prepared baking sheet.

In a 10-inch skillet cook sausage and bell pepper over medium 8 minutes or until sausage is browned and pepper is just tender, stirring in green onions the last 1 minute. Drain off fat.

In a large bowl combine eggs, cream, basil, and salt. Stir in sausage mixture and 1 cup cheese.

Pour egg mixture into bread shells. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake 35 to 40 minutes or until eggs are set (at least 160°F). Let stand 5 minutes before slicing. If desired, sprinkle with additional basil. Makes 10 servings.
