  3. Whisk together eggs and milk until combined. Fold in the bacon and veggie mixture, adding salt and pepper.
  4. Scoop the mixture into the hollowed bread boats, then sprinkle cheese on top.
  5. Bake in the oven for approximately 25-30 minutes until eggs are set and tops are golden brown.
  6. Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm with a side of fruit or salad.
