Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Bread slices
- 2 cups Cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese (shredded)
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter (softened)
- 3 large Eggs
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese (grated)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish with a small amount of butter or cooking spray.
Spread softened butter evenly on one side of each of the bread slices. Cut each slice into quarters (triangles or squares work best).
In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and Dijon mustard until smooth. Set aside.
Lay half of the bread pieces, buttered side down, on the bottom of the greased pie dish to create an even layer.
Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the bread layer.
Top the cheese layer with the remaining bread pieces, buttered side up, arranging them to cover most of the cheese layer.
Pour the egg and milk mixture evenly over the pie, making sure the bread soaks up the liquid for a custard-like texture.
Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, and Parmesan cheese on top.
Place the pie dish on a baking sheet to catch any potential drips, then bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
Remove the dish from the oven and let the pie cool for 5 minutes. Slice and serve warm for a comforting, cheesy meal.
