Description

Ingredients

• 2 Gluten Free 6 in French bread baguettes or one 12 inch cut in half (We use Udis French Bread Baguettes )
• 1/2 tbsp butter or non dairy butter
• 1 tsp minced garlic
• 5 eggs
• 1 cup almond milk or milk of choice
• 1/2 cup egg whites
• 1/2 tsp sea salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1/4 to 1/3 cup parmesan crumbles (extra for topping)
• 1 1/3 cup or about 7-8oz of diced ham (nitrate free). Leftover Holiday ham works great.
• 1 cup chopped onion
• 1 cup chopped celery
• 4 oz feta crumbles
• Fresh herbs and red pepper flakes to garnish

Directions

• Preheat oven 425F. Grease or oil down a casserole dish. 9x3 or 8x10 work.
• Slice your french bread down the middle lengthwise (long) so that it makes 4 half loaves. Like a sandwich
• Spread the garlic and butter evenly on all four slices.
• Place bread slices lined up with each other in the casserole dish.
• Next prepare you egg batter. Whisk together the egg, milk, egg white, salt, pepper, and parmesan. Set aside.
• Sprinkle your ham, celery, and onion evenly over the gluten free french bread.
• If you are making this ahead, see notes before pouring batter
• If you are making all at once, then you will pour the egg parmesan batter evenly over the bread, veggies, and ham. Dont worry, you will have some bread crust ends sticking out above the batter if you have a smaller dish.
• Spread the feta crumbles on top and any extra parmesan youd like to make more cheesy.
• Place in oven for 25-30 minutes or until bread is crusty/golden brown and eggs are cooked. Baking times will vary depending on the thickness of you french bread and your oven. Check at 25 minutes to be safe.
• Once you know its cooked, remove from oven.
• Garnish with red pepper flakes and fresh herbs before serving.
• Salt/pepper to taste.
