I make this Breakfast Bake for just about every special occasion we celebrate (also known as Christmas Morning “Wife” Saver, but I call it Christmas Morning “Husband” Saver!) Christmas, Easter, overnight guests, brunch, when we are in the mood for this easy dish I will whip it up. It is a “go to” dish in our home and once you make it, will soon become a standard in your home too!
Perfect served with cut up juice or fresh fruit, cinnamon rolls and lots of freshly brewed coffee!

That looks HEAVENLY!!!!!! But what’s egg bread?
JoJo, it is basically bread made with eggs, it has a golden yellow colour and is very delicious plain, toasted or incorporated in a recipe, such as this. Sometimes braided and called challah (egg bread), I buy it in a “regular” loaf shape from a local supermarket.
Yum I really want to make it for breakfast today! Can you use reg white bread and have it taste ok? I know which bread your talking about though, thanks for sharing!
Absolutely Doris, I have used white as well as whole wheat bread and both turned out great!
we make this one too, usually for Christmas morning!
We always make it for Christmas morning too Jennifer, I put it in the oven while we are opening presents and as you know, the smell is heavenly!!
