Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 slices of bread (preferably thick-cut, such as French or sourdough)
  • 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ cup bell peppers, diced (use a mix of colors)
  • ½ cup red onion, finely chopped
  • 1 small tomato, diced
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • Fresh herbs for garnish (parsley or basil)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet.

Cut the bread slices into quarters to create bite-sized pieces and arrange them on the baking sheet in a single layer.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper.

In a separate bowl, mix the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses, diced bell peppers, red onion, and tomato.

Spoon a small amount of the cheese and veggie mixture onto each piece of bread.

Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread and veggie toppings, ensuring each bite gets a little of the mixture.

Drizzle the olive oil over the bread bites and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the bread is toasted and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Garnish with fresh herbs and serve warm.

 

 

Notes

  • You can prepare the bread ahead of time by assembling it and refrigerating it until ready to bake.

  • This recipe is easily customizable. Feel free to add your favorite vegetables or spices for a personal touch.

  • If you prefer a spicier version, try adding jalapeños or chili flakes to the cheese mixture.
