First things first. These egg boats are absolutely amazing! Not only are they easy to make (literally just a few minutes of prep time), but they can also be made with those random things you have in your fridge that just need to be used up. Any cheese, any veggies, you name it! The options range from simple like this version, to gourmet like this version with pancetta and leeks.

Finding Support While Blogging
One of the best thing about being a blogger is the community of bloggers that I’ve gotten to connect with. I’m always surprised by how supportive and friendly other bloggers are. People go out of their way to help each other. Mentoring beginner bloggers and passing on tricks that they’ve learned along the way are just some of the many ways bloggers support each other. Never have I ever felt that blogging is a competition, that I’m being judged for my blog not being good enough, or that my blog isn’t big enough. In all fairness, my harshest critic is probably myself!
One of the blogging groups I belong to, Food Bloggers Central, is hosting a Blog Hop! We’re hosting a virtual recipe circle where in addition to making one of our own recipes, we also make another awesome blogger’s recipe.

- Prep Time: 10 minutes
- Cook Time: 35 minutes
- Total Time: 45 minutes
- Yield: 4-5 1x

Ingredients
- 9 eggs
- 1/2 medium onion, diced

- 1 cup of cheddar cheese, divided
- A loaf of French bread
Instructions
- Whisk the eggs. Add the onion, colored pepper and 3/4 cup of cheddar cheese.

This recipe is an update from one I first published in 2015. Wondering what my photos looked like four years ago? Here’s one from the original post:
Do I have you craving this easy breakfast recipe? Pin these baked egg boats for later!
This looks so good! It looks festive for an Easter brunch.
True! It would be great for Easter!
I second your thoughts on the wonderfulness of the blogging community, especially here in the Bay Area! And this sounds yummy! I’ve never made a “boat” meal before, except maybe utilizing a sweet potato as the base. Eggs? Always a good choice!
Ooo, I bet sweet potato would be great in these if it was slightly pre-cooked first!
Kelly, thanks for using my recipe. Your egg boats look better than mine. Beautiful pic.
Hey Peter! Thanks so much for letting me share it! It’s definitely become a breakfast favorite!

Thanks Lynn! I agree, I need more recipes like this!

How can you make such nice egg? It looks really like the boat. I like it. I am trying to find out as many egg recipes as possible. This would be my choice for breakfast. Can’t wait to try it.
I hope you do get a chance to make it! Make sure you tag me on Instagram if you do!
Good recipe!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Have you tried freezing these? I’m looking for a warm, savory yet FAST breakfast for weekdays – something I can pop in the microwave.
I haven’t sorry! I do love freezing things too so I’d be curious how it turns out if you try it. Maybe you could slice it first and freeze in small containers?
