Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf French bread
- 6 large Eggs
- 2 cups Whole milk
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cups Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 stalks Green onions
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with unsalted butter and set aside.
Slice the French bread into thick slices, about 1 inch thick. Arrange them in the greased baking dish, overlapping slightly if necessary.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, heavy cream, garlic powder, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Pour half of the egg mixture evenly over the bread slices, ensuring the bread is soaking up the liquid.
Sprinkle half of the shredded cheddar cheese and grated Parmesan cheese over the bread slices.
Pour the remaining egg mixture over the bread, then top with the remaining shredded cheddar and Parmesan cheese.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
After 25 minutes, remove the foil and continue to bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is golden brown and the edges are crispy.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with thinly sliced green onions before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy!
