Ingredients
3-Ingredient Baked Breakfast: Easy, Fluffy & Delicious!
Ingredients You’ll Need
6 large eggs
1 cup (115g) shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite)
2 slices bread, torn into small pieces (or 1 cup cubed stale bread)
Salt & pepper to taste (optional)
Optional Add-Ins:
Diced ham, spinach, or bell peppers
A pinch of garlic powder or paprika
Instructions
Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures that your breakfast bake will cook evenly and develop a golden, crispy top.
Next, take your bread slices (or cubed stale bread) and scatter them evenly at the bottom of a greased baking dish.
The bread forms the base of the bake and soaks up the egg mixture, creating a rich texture.
In a separate bowl, crack all six eggs and whisk them together until the yolks and whites are fully combined.
Add a pinch of salt and pepper to the eggs and continue whisking until the mixture is smooth.
Once the eggs are ready, pour them over the bread in the baking dish, making sure that the bread is fully coated.
The bread will absorb the egg mixture and start to soften.
Now, sprinkle your shredded cheese evenly on top of the bread and egg mixture. The cheese will melt into the bake as it cooks, giving it a rich, gooey finish.
If you’re adding any optional ingredients like ham, spinach, or bell peppers, now is the time to scatter them over the cheese for a little extra flavor and texture.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is golden brown.
You’ll know it’s done when a knife inserted into the center comes out clean. Let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
How to Make
To make this baked breakfast, start by preparing your baking dish. Grease it lightly with butter or non-stick spray to ensure your bake doesn’t stick. Then, tear your bread into small pieces and spread them evenly across the dish.
Whisk together your eggs, salt, and pepper in a separate bowl. The eggs are the key ingredient for binding everything together and creating the fluffy texture you’re aiming for.
Once the eggs are mixed well, pour them evenly over the bread.
Next, add the shredded cheese to the top, making sure it’s spread out so every bite will have that cheesy goodness.
If you’re adding any optional extras like vegetables or meats, now’s the time to throw them in.
Place your dish in the oven and let it bake. It’s a good idea to check it around the 20-minute mark to make sure it’s cooking evenly, as oven temperatures can vary.
You’ll want the top to be lightly browned and the center set.
Once it’s finished baking, take it out of the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This will give the dish a chance to firm up a bit, making it easier to slice and serve.
