Ingredients:

  • 1 baguette, sliced into 1-inch rounds (250g)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (30ml)
  • 3 large eggs (150g)
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (25g)
  • 1/4 cup shredded low-fat mozzarella cheese (28g)
  • 1 clove garlic, minced (5g)
  • 1/4 tsp salt (1.5g)
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper (1.2g)
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (15ml)
  • 12 oz medium shrimp, peeled and deveined (340g)
  • 1/2 tsp paprika (2.5g)
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder (2.5g)
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice (15ml)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the baguette rounds on a baking sheet and lightly brush each with olive oil. Toast for 5 minutes until the edges are just beginning to turn golden.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, Parmesan, mozzarella, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until the mixture is velvety and well-combined. Stir in the chopped parsley.
  3. Toss the shrimp in a small bowl with paprika, onion powder, and lemon juice until evenly coated.
  4. Spoon 1 tablespoon of the egg mixture onto each toasted bread round. Press one seasoned shrimp firmly into the custard.
  5. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the egg is set and the cheese is bubbling and mahogany-colored.
