• 1 baguette
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1/2 lb sliced ham or turkey or pastrami or corned beef (deli-sliced)

Directions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 200°; crisp the bread in the low oven, split it lengthwise and hollow it out.

2. 2

   Cut each bread in half again, across, making 4 boats; switch the broiler on.

3. 3

   Heat a large nonstick skillet over moderate heat; add the butter and let it melt.

4. 4

   Add in the meat and cook for 3 minutes or until brown at the edges, separate the pieces.

5. 5

   In a bowl, beat the eggs with a splash of milk, the hot sauce, salt, and pepper; add to the skillet w/the meat; scramble, keeping the eggs a little soft.

6. 6

   Divide the eggs among the bread and cover with the cheese; melt the cheese under the broiler; take sandwiches out as soon as the cheese softens and melts.
