Servings - 4

Ingredients

    6 large eggs - beaten
    1 and 1/2 cups milk
    1 teaspoon salt
    Pepper - to taste
    2 and 1/2 cups soft bread crumbs
    2 green onions - chopped
    1/4 cup shredded Cheddar cheese - if desired

Method of Preparation:

Tear four slices of bread, after removing crusts to form soft bread crumbs. Make them to pieces, pulse in a food processor or blender till it has crumbled well. Prepare a baking dish of 8X8 inch size or two loaf pans of size 4X8 by coating insides of the pan generously using butter or cooking spray.

Preheat the oven to 325 F. Mix beaten eggs with milk and seasonings. Stir in bread crumbs and the chopped green onion. Pour this to the prepared baking pan or the loaf pans. Cook this for 45 or 50 minutes till top has become golden brown. Insert a tooth paste in centre and if it comes out clean, it’s cooked.  If top gets browned, before egg gets set, cover top using foil and cook till it’s done.

Note: Green onion can be replaced using couple of tablespoons of any chopped vegetable or a herb.
