Light and Fluffy Cheesy Eggs
Put together this delicious breakfast recipe the night before and save the family from another cereal-and-milk morning.
- 6 slices white bread
- ½ stick butter or margarine, melted
- 1 8-ounce package shredded cheese, such as monterey jack or cheddar
- 2 cups milk
- 8 large eggs
Coat a 9 x 13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
Arrange the slices of bread in a single layer in the bottom of the dish.
In a glass measuring cup, melt the butter or margarine in the microwave oven for 40 seconds on high.
Drizzle over the bread.
Sprinkle the cheese evenly over the bread.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the milk and the eggs, mixing well.
Pour over the cheese.
Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 8 hours or overnight.
When ready to bake, uncover and place in a cold oven. Then set to 350° F. This is necessary because the dish is coming out cold from the refrigerator and might crack if placed in a preheated oven.
Bake for 50 minutes.- The casserole will be puffy and lightly browned.
- Try using raisin bread spread with cream cheese as a substitute for the white bread and butter. No joke, it tastes good!
