Ingredients
Baked breakfast with 3 ingredients: easy, moist and delicious!
Ingredients needed:
6 large eggs
1 cup (115 g) shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite)
2 slices bread, torn into small pieces (or 1 cup stale bread cubed)
Salt and pepper to taste (optional)
Optional add-ons:
Diced ham, spinach or peppers.
A pinch of garlic powder or paprika.
Instructions
Start by preheating your oven to 190°C (375°F). This will ensure that your cake is evenly baked and has a golden and crispy crust.
Next, take your slices of bread (or stale bread cut into cubes) and spread them evenly over the bottom of a greased baking dish.
The bread forms the base of the cake and absorbs the egg mixture, creating a rich texture.
In a separate bowl, crack the six eggs and beat them together until the yolks and whites are completely 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 to coat it well.
The bread will absorb the egg mixture and begin to soften.
Now spread the grated cheese evenly over the bread and egg mixture. The cheese will melt when baked, giving the cake a rich, fudgy texture.
If you’re adding optional ingredients like ham, spinach, or peppers, now is the time to sprinkle them over the cheese to add a little 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.
Cooking is complete when a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool for a few minutes before serving.
How to do it
To prepare this breakfast in the oven, start by preparing your dish. Lightly grease it with butter or nonstick spray to prevent the cake from sticking. Then, tear the bread into small pieces and spread them evenly throughout the dish.
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, salt, and pepper. Eggs are the key ingredient that will bind all the ingredients together and achieve the desired chewy texture.
Once the eggs are well mixed, pour them evenly over the bread.
Then, add the grated cheese on top, making sure to distribute it evenly so that each bite is deliciously cheesy.
If you’re adding optional ingredients like vegetables or meat, now is the time to stir them in.
