Lemon and Basil Eggs over Focaccia

  • 1 large loaf focaccia bread

  • 2 tablespoons Meyer lemon olive oil, or 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil combined with 1 teaspoon lemon juice

  • 3 eggs

  • ¼ cup chopped fresh basil leaves

  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

  • 1 cup milk

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

  • Cut the top off the focaccia and hollow out the bread inside.

  • Tear the top of the focaccia and the inside bread into 1-inch pieces and save for the egg mixture.

  • Brush the inside of the focaccia with the Meyer lemon olive oil. Place on a baking sheet and toast for 10 minutes.

  • Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk the eggs. Add the basil, cheese, salt, pepper, and milk. Whisk lightly.

  • Stir in up to 4 cups of the bread pieces.

  • Carefully pour the egg mixture into the toasted focaccia bottom.
