This recipe is from Spoon Fork Bacon and variations on the theme have been all over the blogosphere recently. I screwed up when making it and ended up using loaves of bread that were much too large. Then I had to double everything and it didn’t work very well. I think the key is using smaller rolls – round ones or small baguettes. You could also use one long baguette and just make one.
The end result was tasty, just not as tasty as it could be! I’m sure there are endless varieties, since this is basically just quiche in a bread bowl. Yum!
