Ingredients
Scale
- 6 slices of bread (white, whole wheat, or sourdough)
- 12 slices of cheese (cheddar, Swiss, or mozzarella)
- 6 slices of cooked sausage (thinly sliced or diced)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup (120ml) milk
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat & Prep: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.
- Layer the Bread & Fillings: Place 3 slices of bread in the dish, add 6 slices of cheese and all of the sausage, then top with the remaining bread and cheese.
- Make the Egg Mixture: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, melted butter, garlic powder, black pepper, and paprika until smooth.
- Pour & Let It Soak: Evenly pour the egg mixture over the layered bread, pressing gently to help it absorb. Let sit for 5 minutes.
- Bake Until Golden: Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
- Garnish & Serve: Let cool slightly before slicing. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.
Notes
- For extra crunch, add a sprinkle of grated Parmesan or breadcrumbs on top before baking.
- Swap out the sausage for bacon, ham, or a vegetarian alternative like sautéed mushrooms.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven.
- To make it ahead, assemble the dish the night before and bake fresh in the morning.
- Serve with a side of fresh fruit or a simple salad for a well-balanced meal.
