3 Ingredient Baked Breakfast

Step 2: Prepare the Bread

Take your bread slices and cut them into bite-sized cubes. Place the cubes in a lightly greased baking dish. Greasing the dish prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.

Step 3: Whisk the Eggs

In a mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them thoroughly until smooth. If you want a fluffier texture, add a splash of milk or cream (optional). Season lightly with salt and pepper if desired.

Step 4: Combine Ingredients

Pour the whisked eggs evenly over the bread cubes in the baking dish. The eggs will soak into the bread slightly, creating a custard-like texture when baked. Then, sprinkle your shredded cheese on top, distributing it evenly over the mixture.

Step 5: Bake to Perfection

Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and the cheese has melted into a golden, bubbly layer. You can test doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center—if it comes out clean, it’s ready.

Step 6: Serve and Enjoy

Once baked, remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for a minute or two. Use a spatula to portion servings onto plates. This breakfast is perfect on its own or with a side of fresh fruit or avocado.

Tips for Variation

• Add protein: Include cooked bacon, sausage, or ham for a heartier meal.
• Veggie boost: Fold in diced tomatoes, spinach, or bell peppers for extra nutrients.
• Spicy twist: Sprinkle red pepper flakes or paprika for a little kick.
