Servings: 4

• 1 baguette
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• ½ lb sliced ham (deli-sliced) or ½ lb turkey (deli-sliced) or ½ lb pastrami (deli-sliced) or ½ lb corned beef (deli-sliced)

• 1⁄8;-¼ fluid ounce milk (a splash)
• 1 teaspoon hot sauce

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 200°; crisp the bread in the low oven, split it lengthwise and hollow it out.
2. Cut each bread in half again, across, making 4 boats; switch the broiler on.
3. Heat a large nonstick skillet over moderate heat; add the butter and let it melt.
4. Add in the meat and cook for 3 minutes or until brown at the edges, separate the pieces.
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. 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.
