Egg bread is a fancy dish for breakfast or brunch, and it’s an easy recipe to prepare. The recipe is a cross between baked eggs, bread pudding, and stove top stuffing. It’s a great way to use up old and stale bread. I go light on the cheese in this egg bread recipe, but adding more cheese and making a cheese bread is super tasty. One thing you don’t want to do is go light on the seasoning, especially if you’re using a plain loaf of bread; the more seasoning the better–especially rosemary!

How to Make Baked Egg Bread
Any bread will do, but ideally use a hard and crusty loaf. If you’ve got a loaf of bread you’re thinking is to stale to eat, then this is a perfect recipe to save it.
- Slice the bread into cubes and place in a large mixing bowl. I like using larger cube sizes for a rustic looking dish.
- In a bowl, whisk 2 eggs and milk.
- Add the egg/milk mixture in with the bread and toss, coating the bread.
- Add in the herbs and spices, onion, hot pepper, and cheese and toss until the bread is well coated.
- Lightly grease an oven safe baking dish and add the bread mix, spreading out evenly. Check current prices on a Pyrex Baking Dish on Amazon.
- With a spoon, make an impression on the top of the bread mix for each egg serving.
- Crack an egg into each depression.
- Slide into a preheated oven and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 30-40 minutes, until the eggs are baked to desired doneness.
- Slice into servings and serve hot or cold.
That’s it! Takes a little while to bake, but otherwise this egg bread is a fairly quick dish to prepare, and a fancy way to use up stale bread.
