Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the oven
Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking dish.
Step 2: Prepare the bread
Cut your bread into cubes and spread them evenly in the prepared dish.
Step 3: Mix the custard base
In a bowl, whisk together eggs and milk until smooth. Pour the mixture evenly over the bread cubes, pressing lightly so the bread absorbs the liquid.
Step 4: Add optional toppings
Sprinkle cheese, bacon, or fresh herbs on top if desired. These extras add flavor and make your breakfast even more satisfying.
Step 5: Bake to perfection
Bake uncovered for 25–30 minutes, or until the top is golden and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Let it cool slightly before serving.
Step 4: Tips & Variations
✅ Use day-old bread — it soaks up the egg mixture perfectly without getting soggy.
✅ Add vegetables like bell peppers or spinach for a nutrient boost.
✅ Swap milk with cream or plant-based milk for a richer or dairy-free version.
