Each ciabatta cradle holds a soft, oven-baked omelet. The version shown uses ham, mushrooms, scallions and a mix of provolone and feta, but you can easily swap fillings to suit your taste—bacon, spinach, roasted peppers or different cheeses all work beautifully. This flexibility makes the egg boat ideal for customizing and using up leftovers.
You can serve the egg boat whole for a grab-and-go breakfast or slice it to share and savor at home. Slices are great for breakfast gatherings, while a whole bread is perfect when time is tight. Either way, it’s a filling, balanced start to the day.
This recipe makes two small ciabatta egg boats, enough for two people. Scale the ingredients up or down as needed.
Egg Boat
Ingredients:
- 2 medium eggs
- 4 tbsp milk
- 2 tbsp cooked ham, diced
- 2 medium mushrooms, diced
- 1/2 scallion, chopped
- 1/2 cup shredded provolone cheese
- 1/2 cup diced provolone cheese
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 2 tbsp sour cream
- 2 medium small ciabatta breads (olives ciabatta works well for extra flavor)
You will also need:
- Medium bowl
- Small whisk
- Sharp knife
- Baking sheet or pizza pan
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium bowl, beat the eggs with the milk using a whisk.
- Add diced mushrooms, chopped scallion, diced ham, shredded provolone, crumbled feta and sour cream; stir until combined.
- Using a sharp knife, cut a rectangular hollow in the top of each ciabatta and remove the crumbs to create a cavity for the egg mixture.
- Divide the omelet mixture between the two breads, filling each cavity about halfway to leave room for expansion.
- Place the filled breads on a baking sheet or pizza pan and bake for 25–30 minutes, until the egg sets and the top develops a light golden crust.
- Remove the pan, sprinkle the diced provolone on top, and return to the oven briefly until the cheese melts.
- Serve warm—either whole for a portable breakfast or sliced to share.
