Brunch Bread with Tender Belly Bacon

This savory, cheesy, bacon-packed brunch bread is the ultimate crowd-pleaser! Perfect for weekends, holidays, or any day that calls for indulgence.

Ingredients:

• 1 loaf of French bread
• 8 oz. Tender Belly Signature Blend Bacon, diced
• 7 oz. maple sausage
• 1/2 cup of your favorite cheese (cheddar, gouda, or a blend work great)
• 4 eggs
• Splash of milk
• 1 Tbsp. butter
• Noble Made All-Purpose Seasoning
• Chives, diced

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2. Prepare the bread: Slice the French bread in half lengthwise and hollow out the center, creating space for the filling. Set aside.
3. Cook the meats: In a cast iron skillet, cook the bacon until crispy and the sausage until browned. If using sausage patties, dice them once cooked. Set aside.
4. Mix the eggs: Whisk together the eggs, a splash of milk, and a generous sprinkle of Noble Made All-Purpose Seasoning.
5. Cook the eggs lightly: Melt the butter in a pan over low-medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture and cook briefly, stirring occasionally—just until they begin to set. (Don’t worry—they’ll finish cooking in the oven.)
6. Combine the filling: Mix the lightly cooked eggs with the bacon and sausage.
7. Assemble the bread: Place the hollowed bread halves on a greased sheet pan. Layer the inside with a sprinkle of cheese, then add the egg and meat mixture. Top with another layer of cheese and a light dusting of Noble Made All-Purpose Seasoning for extra flavor.
8. Bake: Place the bread in the oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and starting to brown.
9. Garnish and serve: Top with freshly diced chives for a pop of color and flavor. Slice into portions and serve warm.

Pro tip: Pair this with fresh fruit and mimosas for the ultimate brunch spread!
