A delightful baked egg dish with layers of bread, eggs, and cheese, perfect for a quick and satisfying brunch.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even cooking.
Butter the baking dish and layer the bottom with half of the bread slices.
Use day-old bread for better texture.
Crack the eggs over the bread layer and season with salt and pepper.
Distribute the eggs evenly for consistent flavor.
Layer the remaining bread slices on top and drizzle with melted butter.
Press the bread gently to ensure it absorbs the butter.
Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the top.
Spread the cheese to cover the entire surface for a golden crust.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until the eggs are set and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Check the center to ensure the eggs are fully cooked.
Let the dish cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm for the best taste and texture.
