Cheese croutons with baked egg

Croutons with cheese and egg are a very tasty and filling option for breakfast or a snack. And it doesn't take much time to prepare. You can add other ingredients as a filling: sausage, tomatoes, carrots. This will make every breakfast special and different from the other.

How to cook Cheese croutons with baked egg

Step 1

Cheese croutons with baked egg

In a bowl, beat 1 egg, milk, salt and pepper to taste.

Step 2

Cheese croutons with baked egg

Remove the crumb from two croutons, leaving only the crusts. Place a whole piece of bread into each crouton. The top crouton without a center will become a mold for the filling. Dip the resulting croutons into the egg mixture.

Step 3

Cheese croutons with baked egg

Grate the cheese on a coarse grater. Line a baking dish with parchment paper. Put the croutons in. Carefully, without damaging the yolk, break 1 egg into each crouton without the middle. Sprinkle with cheese, salt and pepper.

Step 4

Place in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes at 180⁰C.

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.
