Baked egg-soaked bread with garlic and cheese is a variation on savory French toast, baked all at once on a sheet pan instead of fried in a skillet. Arrange slices of stale bread on a buttered sheet pan, pour over a mixture of eggs, cream, crushed garlic, and herbs, and sprinkle generously with grated cheese. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes at 180–200 °C (350–400 °F). It is a quick dinner for four that saves you from standing over a frying pan.

Instructions
Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.
- Arrange the slices of stale bread on a sheet pan greased with a little butter. Whisk the cream thoroughly with the eggs, crushed garlic, and remaining seasonings.
- Pour the mixture over the bread, sprinkle generously with grated cheese, and bake at 180–200 °C (350–400 °F) for about 20–25 minutes.
Tip: Use a deep sheet pan or baking dish, as the egg and cream mixture would spill out of a shallow pan. Arrange the slices close together so the mixture soaks into the bread rather than baking into an omelet between the slices.
