This recipe is perfect for using up any French sticks that have gone a bit stale. It’s a delicious way to enjoy quiche filling – that cheesy puffy egg mixture works so well in the crusty bread and there's none of the hassle of making pastry

Method

step 1

Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Slice each of the baguettes in half lengthways. Pull out the soft middles of each piece to create a well for the filling (kids can eat the middles – they always love that bit!) and pop them onto a baking sheet.
step 2

Whisk together the double cream, eggs and some salt and pepper. To assemble, scatter the baguette halves with half of the cheese, then pour the egg mixture into the middle of each piece of bread. Add the bacon, mushrooms or other toppings and sprinkle over the rest of the cheese.
step 3

Bake for 20-25 mins until the filling is cooked through, puffy and golden brown. Serve as they are, sprinkled with coriander, if you like, or alongside salad or baked beans for a more substantial meal.
