I like to watch the Today Show in the morning. Most of the time it either makes me depressed or scared about some outbreak or that we’re all in debt. But, if you wait around for the later hours of programming, they cook!
They also do fashion stories, live music, and more cooking. My favorite! 😀 It’s the ‘happy  hour’ of the news. My kind of news.
Anyway, so one day Martha Stewart was on and she made these little egg filled baguettes. Genius!
I had to try it for myself.
Even Leland (who needs a haircut) wanted to get in on the action…or just for us to ‘drop’ some pepperonis. 😉
Let me just tell you, these were so good! There was no fuss about having to make a crust for your quiche. You could just quickly whip up the eggs and throw in some veggies.
Easy peasy, and so delicious.
I picked up these mini baguettes that were perfect for single serving quiches, but the recipe works great with whatever size bread loaf you have.
You get all the great nutrition from the eggs, veggies, meat, and bread! A full package meal.
Go eat.
And have a great weekend!
Quiche Baguettes

- 2 eggs
- pepper, to taste
- 1 sweet onion, diced and sautéed in 1 tablespoon olive oil

This is such a good idea!
Oh my! These are super fun. Love this idea!
Wow, what a great idea. I love baguette so fill it up with good stuff and I’m in. And Leland melts my heart!
I’m throwing a bridal shower for a friend too! Totally putting this on the menu! Hope you’re feeling well
i watch the Today Show every morning, too, + the food/fashion segments are my favorite. these look great + i think i remember the segment that inspired them!
I don’t watch The Today Show but the news in general depresses me so I stay away. These are clever! I don’t like quiche but I do love pizza and I’d love to make a pizza out of baguette. I don’t know why I’ve never done it.
This looks like an excellent meal for Logan to make the two of you in a few weeks. 😀
I somehow always miss the cooking segments on the morning shows. Sounds like a fun and easy recipe!
How did I miss that on the Today Show? These look so delicious!
these look so delicious! so simple and looks absolutely delectable! this is something i can make during the week since it’s so easy. i can actually see myself making it this week since my entire pantry is packed so i can buy a few quick ingredients and not have any leftovers 😉
Such a cool idea! Looks great…
I love this idea. My husband would eat this right up!
Ohh, this is fantastic! And a great way to get good-for-you breakfast things in a yummy outer casing. 😉
WoW! This is awesome! What a great idea!
I love the fun part of the news too 🙂 These look delicious!
Ooooo baguette!! I just made 4 from scratch! So yummy… And time consuming!
this is such a brilliant idea! now why haven’t i thought of this before?
What a terrific ideas! And you can take choose any kind of bread, in any shape and size. So great! Really thinking out of the box
