Ingredients
Scale
- 1 dozen eggs
- 12 slices of bread
- 1 bag (8 oz/226 g) shredded cheese
- Butter (softened)
- Salt (fresh-ground)
- Pepper (fresh-ground)
- Onion powder (fresh-ground)
- Garlic powder (fresh-ground)
- Preferred seasonings (optional)
Instructions
- Oven Preparation: Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a large baking sheet with a silicone mat, lightly spraying edges to prevent sticking.
- Bread Arrangement: Create a compact layout of bread slices, positioning them directly next to each other on the prepared surface.
- Well Creation and Seasoning: Gently press a small rectangular indentation into each bread slice’s center, then brush edges with softened butter and sprinkle chosen seasonings.
- Egg and Cheese Placement: Carefully crack an egg into each bread well, ensuring precise positioning, and generously cover the buttered edges with shredded cheese.
- Baking Process: Transfer the sheet pan to the top oven rack and bake for 15-20 minutes until initial color develops, then move to the bottom rack for an additional 5-10 minutes to achieve desired egg doneness and complete cheese melting.
- Serving: Remove from oven once bread turns golden and cheese is fully melted, slice into individual portions, and serve immediately while maintaining optimal warmth and texture.
Notes
- Preheat Precisely: Ensure oven temperature is exactly 350°F for consistent cooking results.
- Create Perfect Wells: Use teaspoon edge to gently press centered indentations, preventing egg overflow and ensuring even cooking.
- Butter Strategically: Apply thin butter layer on bread edges for enhanced flavor and crispy texture.
- Monitor Baking Stages: Switch rack positions midway to achieve golden bread and perfectly cooked eggs, adjusting time for desired egg doneness.
