Extra tips for making this baked eggs in bread idea:
- I used a loaf of ciabatta bread from the grocery store, however, you can grab French bread or maybe try individual rolls.
- If you don’t have sharp cheddar cheese on hand, try another onlinebination that you’d enjoy. I think Gouda sounds fabulous or parmesan cheese. Some Boursin cheese would be fantastic.
- If you happen to have leftovers they reheat well in the microwave or air fryer.
- You can prep ahead the bacon or other meat like sausage ahead of time to make this process even faster.
