Ingredients You’ll Need 🛒
- 1 large sourdough flatbread (or similar crust)
- 2–3 cups shredded cheese (your choice — we used light)
- 10–12 large eggs
- 1/2–1 cup milk or cream
- 1–2 cups cooked meats (sausage, bacon, ham, etc.)
- 1–2 cups chopped veggies (bell peppers, onions, spinach, mushrooms, etc.)
- Salt & pepper, to taste
- Optional: herbs (chives, parsley), hot sauce or spices
Step‑by‑Step Instructions 🍽️
Step 1: Prepare the Oven & Pan
Preheat your oven to **350°F (175°C)**. Grease a 9×13 baking dish or similar casserole pan with cooking spray or a bit of butter.
Step 2: Layer the Sourdough Base
Place the sourdough flatbread on the bottom of the pan, pressing it to fit the shape. This becomes your base — think rustic pizza crust meets breakfast casserole foundation.
Step 3: Add Cheese Layer
Sprinkle a layer of shredded cheese over the flatbread. You can go heavy or light — we chose light for a balanced finish.
Step 4: Mix Eggs & Fillings
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk or cream, salt, and pepper. Then stir in your cooked meats and chopped veggies.
Step 5: Assemble the Eggbake
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the cheese layer. Add any extra cheese on top if desired and finish with herbs or spices.
Step 6: Bake to Golden Perfection
Bake for **30–40 minutes** or until the edges are golden and the center is fully set (no runny eggs). Let cool for a few minutes before slicing.
Serving & Enjoying 🍳
Cut into squares and serve hot straight from the oven. This eggbake also tastes great cold — making it perfect the next day for breakfast on the go or brunch leftovers.
- Top each serving with hot sauce or salsa for a zesty kick.
- Add avocado slices for creaminess.
- Pair it with fresh fruit or a simple green salad for brunch!
Tips for Success 🌟
- ❗ Make sure your veggies are pre‑cooked or sautéed slightly if they hold moisture (like mushrooms or peppers).
- 🧀 Adjust cheese amounts to your preference — light, medium, or extra cheesy!
- 🥓 Swap or mix meats: bacon, sausage, diced ham — all work beautifully.
- 🍳 For fluffier eggs, add a splash of milk or cream.
Meal Prep & Storage 🧊

How do I know when it’s done?
