Ingredients:

  • 6 large eggs (300g)
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream (120ml)
  • 1/2 tsp salt (3g)
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper (1g)
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder (1g)
  • 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded (115g)
  • 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded (55g)
  • 2 cups white bread, cubed (150g)
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted (28g)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8x8 inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. Toss the cubed bread with melted butter in a bowl until lightly coated, then spread them evenly across the bottom of the dish.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs, heavy cream, salt, pepper, and garlic powder gently until homogenous and pale yellow, avoiding excessive foam.
  4. Fold in half of the shredded cheddar and all of the mozzarella using a spatula.
  5. Pour the egg mixture slowly over the bread, pressing down lightly to ensure the bread is fully submerged.
  6. Top the mixture with the remaining shredded cheddar cheese.
  7. Bake for 35–40 minutes until the edges pull away from the sides and the center has a slight, jell-like jiggle.
  8. Let it sit for 5 minutes before slicing to let the custard set so it doesn't collapse.
