Day 15: Scramblewiches

Here is what I made tonight.  It was a quick and easy dinner.  It was good and an interesting way  to use up a loaf of french bread. 

 

1 baguette
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
4-5 pieces of ham
8 large eggs
1/8-1/4 fluid ounce milk (a splash)
1 teaspoon hot sauce ( I didn't use this)
salt
fresh ground black pepper
4 slices Cheddar cheese
chopped fresh chives or chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Directions:

1 Preheat oven to 200°; crisp the bread in the low oven, split it lengthwise and hollow it out.
2 Cut each bread in half again, across, making 4 boats; switch the broiler on.
3 Heat a large nonstick skillet over moderate heat; add the butter and let it melt.
4 Add in the meat and cook for 3 minutes or until brown at the edges, separate the pieces.
5 In a bowl, beat the eggs with a splash of milk, the hot sauce, salt, and pepper; add to the skillet w/the meat; scramble, keeping the eggs a little soft.
6 Divide the eggs among the bread and cover with the cheese; melt the cheese under the broiler; take sandwiches out as soon as the cheese softens and melts.
7 Garnish with chopped chives or parsley.
