Ingredients

4 demi sourdough baguettes
1/2 cup liquid egg whites
2 tbsp fat free half and half
2 oz lean ham, diced
2 green onions, chopped
1/4 cup mushrooms, diced
1/2 cup reduced fat swiss cheese, shredded
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Cut a deep “V” shape into the baguettes and pull out most of the bread inside.
In a medium sized bowl, whisk together the egg whites and half and half. Add in remaining ingredients and season with salt and pepper.
Place each bread “boat” onto a baking sheet, and evenly divide the egg mixture into each one, slowly pouring it into the hollowed out “V”.
Bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until bread becomes golden brown, and egg mixture is cooked through and set.
Remove from oven and let cool for about 5 minutes. Serve immediately.
