Create delicious oven-baked egg bread at home with simple ingredients. This recipe yields a slightly crisp exterior and a wonderfully moist interior, making it a perfect treat for kids’ snacks or a delightful brunch option for adults. Using pancake mix ensures a successful and tasty outcome for everyone.
Main Ingredients- Pancake mix 250g (approx. 1.5 cups)
- Eggs 7 large
- Milk 200ml (approx. 1 cup)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
In a bowl, whisk the 7 large eggs until well beaten. Then, pour in the 200ml of milk and mix until just combined, ensuring no large streaks of egg remain.
Step 2
Add the 250g of pancake mix to the egg and milk mixture. Sifting the mix can help prevent lumps and create a smoother batter. Gently fold it in with a spatula or whisk until no dry flour is visible. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the bread tough.
Step 3
Prepare your muffin tin by greasing each cup thoroughly with cooking oil or butter. This step is crucial for preventing the egg bread from sticking and ensures easy removal after baking. Baking spray is also a good alternative.
Step 4
If using ham or bacon, finely dice it into small pieces. (Did you know? Eggs are incredibly nutritious! They are packed with protein and essential vitamins and minerals that support brain development, enhance memory, help prevent dementia, slow aging, and can be beneficial for managing diabetes, hair loss, fatty liver disease, and even contribute to cancer prevention and lower blood pressure.)
Step 5
Carefully spoon the pancake batter into each muffin cup, filling it about 70-80% full. Avoid overfilling, as the batter will rise during baking.
Step 6
Gently crack one egg into the center of the batter in each muffin cup. Try not to break the yolk. You can make a small incision in the yolk with a toothpick to prevent it from bursting too much during baking.
Step 7
Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese over each egg. The melted cheese will add a wonderful gooey texture and savory flavor.
Step 8
Arrange the diced ham or bacon pieces evenly over the cheese. If using bacon, pre-cooking it until crispy and draining the excess fat beforehand will enhance its flavor and texture.
Step 9
Add a little more mozzarella cheese on top, if desired, and finish with a sprinkle of dried parsley flakes for a touch of color and aroma.
Step 10
Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for approximately 15-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and melted. Baking times may vary depending on your oven. Enjoy your delicious oven-baked egg bread while it’s warm!
