1 [1] lb Italian bread loaf
½ medium red bell pepper, diced
½ medium green bell pepper, diced
1 Tbsp butter
3 green onion sliced
8 large eggs
⅔ cup heavy cream
2 Tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
¼-1/2 tsp salt
¼-1/2 tsp black pepper
6 slices bacon cooked and crumbled
1½ cup shredded colby-jack or cheddar cheese

Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a standard cookie sheet with parchment paper. Hollow out the center of the Italian loaf leaving at least 1-inch on each side and the bottom. Freeze the bread removed from the center and use for another dish. Place the hollowed out loaf onto the parchment. Set aside. In a skillet over medium-high heat melt 1 Tbsp butter. Add the diced peppers and cook for 2 minutes until softened. Add the sliced green onion. Season with salt and black pepper to your taste. Cook for 1 minute then remove from the pan to cool slightly. Whisk together the eggs, cream, grated Parmesan cheese, salt and black pepper until light and fluffy. Adjust the amount of salt and black pepper to your taste. Mix in 1 cup shredded colby-jack cheese, cooked peppers and onion and crumbled bacon by hand. Pour into the hollowed out bread loaf. Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese on top. Bake for 30 minutes or until set. Let rest for 5 minutes then slice and serve.
