Cheese croutons with baked egg - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Absolutely! You can substitute the cheese with any meltable variety like cheddar, mozzarella, or Gouda for a different flavor. Avoid hard cheeses like Parmesan, as they don't melt as smoothly.
The recipe is already vegetarian, but ensure your cheese is vegetarian (some contain animal rennet). For a vegan version, use plant-based cheese and a flax egg or tofu scramble as an egg substitute.
Yes! Assemble the croutons (without baking) and refrigerate for up to 12 hours. Bake just before serving for the best texture. Avoid freezing raw, as the bread may become soggy.
Reheat in a toaster oven or regular oven at 180°C for 3-5 minutes. Microwaving isn't recommended as it can make the croutons rubbery and the yolk tough.
Yes! Use gluten-free bread for the croutons and ensure all other ingredients are gluten-free certified. The cooking method remains the same.
They pair well with a fresh green salad, roasted vegetables, or sliced avocado. For brunch, serve alongside bacon or smoked salmon for extra protein.
Ensure you press the bread firmly into the baking dish to create a tight seal. You can also use slightly thicker bread slices for better containment.
Yes! Use smaller bread slices or cut regular slices into quarters. Reduce baking time by 2-3 minutes, as the smaller portions will cook faster.
Yes! Air fry at 180°C for 6-8 minutes. Check frequently as air fryers cook faster. Use parchment paper to prevent sticking.
