Ingredients

Scale

Egg Mixture

  • 8 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Other Ingredients

  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)
  • 2 cups bread cubes or diced potatoes (about 4 slices of bread or 2 medium potatoes)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s at the right temperature when you’re ready to bake.
  2. Prepare Ingredients: Cube your bread or dice potatoes into bite-sized pieces. If using potatoes, consider parboiling them briefly to ensure they cook fully in the bake.
  3. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until fully combined. Stir in the shredded cheese and bread cubes or potatoes, ensuring everything is evenly coated.
  4. Assemble in Baking Dish: Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish to prevent sticking. Pour the egg mixture into the dish, spreading it out evenly.
  5. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the egg bake is set and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
  6. Cool and Serve: Allow the egg bake to cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm for a delicious breakfast.

Notes

  • You can add vegetables like spinach, bell peppers, or onions for extra nutrition and flavor.
  • Swap bread for potatoes based on your preference or dietary needs.
  • For a dairy-free version, use a plant-based milk and cheese alternative.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated for quick breakfasts during the week.
