BFMH: Egg in a Baguette

So this darn pin has been pinned THOUSANDS of times. Most of the time, there doesn't seem to be any directions, so instead to trying to find the original pin, I found this: Here is a most helpful Video tutorial. I am pretty excited about trying this bad boy out!

Egg in a Baguette 

Ingredients

Slice of baguette Baguette: 1/serving

Egg: 1/serving

1 slice of thick Bacon: 1/serving

1 teaspoon Oil: 1/serving

Salt and pepper: to taste

Method

Cut a 3 finger width piece of baguette.

Hole out soft bread for center

Cube the bacon needed for each serving

Heat a little oil in a pan and cook cubed bacon slices

Let cool to the side and pat away extra grease with paper towel

Wipe out pan lightly and place holed out baguette in pan

Crack egg carefully in a pourable container.

Pressing down on baguette to keep the egg from escaping, pour egg into bread hole and apply pressure until the base of the set enough that it won’t run out.

Crack  salt and pepper over egg to taste

Cover and allow to cook until base of the egg is cooked.

Flip carefully and allow egg to set on top, which should be rather brief.

Then plate and garnish with bacon.

A bit of spill over....

No bacon so chopped ham for the Win! Husband's plate.

My plate. 

This dish, as most dishes that are "egg in a ___" was a little hard. It turned out I needed to remove about 50% of the egg white to allow it to fill a hollowed out piece of baguette that wasn't too deep so the egg would cook properly. This, of course, is such baguette by baguette basis issue that it might not be an issue with a wider baguette.

The flavor and texture were quite nice though and the flaked, fried ham turned out to be a very substitute for diced bacon. I think that dish would be made again for company, but might utilize the oven instead of cooking it all on the stove top.
