Ingredients
  

6 slices of crusty bread (sourdough or baguette recommended)

6 large eggs

1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

1/2 cup whole milk

1/4 cup heavy cream

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

1 tablespoon fresh chives, finely chopped (optional)

Olive oil or butter, for greasing the baking dish

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). While the oven heats up, generously grease a muffin tin or small ramekins with olive oil or butter to prevent sticking.

    Prepare the Bread: Use a rolling pin to gently flatten each slice of bread. Next, cut each slice into four equal squares that will fit snugly into the muffin cups.

      Line the Muffin Tin: Take four pieces of bread and arrange them in each muffin cup. Press them down gently to create a solid base for your egg mixture.

        Make the Egg Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together with the whole milk, heavy cream, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder until fully blended. Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese and chives, if using, until evenly distributed.

          Fill the Muffin Tin: Carefully pour the egg and cheese mixture over the lined bread in each muffin cup, ensuring that the bread is well-soaked but leaving a small gap at the top to allow for puffing during baking.

            Bake: Place the muffin tin into the preheated oven. Bake for approximately 20-25 minutes, or until the egg is set and the tops have turned golden brown.

              Cool and Serve: Once baked to perfection, let the Mini Egg and Cheese Bread Bakes cool for a few minutes. Using a knife, run it around the edges to loosen them, then gently remove them from the tin. Serve warm, with extra chives for garnish if desired.

                Enjoy Your Meal! These delightful mini bakes are perfect for a hearty breakfast, a flavorful brunch dish, or a satisfying snack!
