3 Ingredient Baked Breakfast

Step 2: Prepare the Bread

Cut your bread into cubes or tear it into bite-sized pieces. If you want a crispier texture, lightly toast the bread beforehand. Place the bread evenly in the bottom of your baking dish.

Step 3: Beat the Eggs

In a mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them until fully combined. For added flavor, you can sprinkle a pinch of salt and pepper.

Step 4: Assemble the Dish

Pour the beaten eggs over the bread in the baking dish. Make sure all bread pieces are coated with egg. Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the top. If you’re adding extras like vegetables or bacon, layer them in now.

Step 5: Bake

Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and the cheese is melted and slightly golden. For a fluffier texture, you can cover the dish with foil for the first 15 minutes, then remove it to brown the top.

Step 6: Serve

Allow the baked breakfast to cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve as-is or with a drizzle of hot sauce, fresh herbs, or a side of fruit.

Tips for Success

• Use sturdy bread: Thick slices or slightly stale bread hold up better than soft, fresh bread.
• Customize your flavors: Swap cheddar for feta or gouda, add spinach, mushrooms, or tomatoes, or sprinkle paprika or garlic powder for extra taste.
• Meal prep friendly: This recipe reheats well, making it a perfect grab-and-go breakfast for busy mornings.

Why This Recipe Works

The beauty of the 3 Ingredient Baked Breakfast is its simplicity. Eggs provide protein, bread adds carbs for energy, and cheese gives fat and flavor. Even with minimal ingredients, the textures are satisfying: soft eggs, slightly crisp bread, and gooey cheese. Plus, the recipe is extremely flexible, allowing you to adapt it to whatever you have in your kitchen.

This baked breakfast proves that you don’t need a long ingredient list to create a meal that’s hearty, tasty, and quick. With just eggs, bread, and cheese, you can transform a hectic morning into a delicious start to your day!

If you want, I can also create a version with a sweet twist, using the same 3 ingredients but turning it into a dessert-style breakfast. It’s surprisingly good!
