Chef's Note
This comforting breakfast bake combines the sweet and savory flavors of maple and bacon with a hearty egg base. It's perfect for those mornings when you need something substantial and warming. You can prepare components the night before and assemble in the morning for a quicker breakfast. For extra decadence, drizzle with a small amount of additional maple syrup before serving.

Ingredients
3 large eggs
3 strips bacon
2 slices bread
1/4 cup cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons milk
1 tablespoons maple syrup
2 teaspoon butter
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons green onions
Instructions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a small oven-safe baking dish or two 6-inch ramekins with 1 teaspoon of butter.
- 2
Cook 3 strips of bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove, drain on paper towels, and roughly chop when cool enough to handle.
- 3
Pour off most of the bacon fat from the skillet, leaving about 1 teaspoon. Return to medium heat and toast the bread slices until golden brown on both sides, about 2 minutes per side.
- 4
Cut the toasted bread into 1-inch cubes and place in the bottom of your prepared baking dish.
- 5
In a medium bowl, whisk together 3 large eggs, 2 tablespoons of milk, 1 tablespoon of maple syrup, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper until well combined.
- 6
Sprinkle half of the chopped bacon and half of the shredded cheddar cheese over the bread cubes in the baking dish.
- 7
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread, bacon, and cheese. Top with the remaining bacon, cheese, and 2 tablespoons of chopped green onions.
- 8
Dot the top with the remaining 1 teaspoon of butter, cut into small pieces.
- 9
Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is golden brown.
- 10
Allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving warm.
