Ingredients

• 1 loaf French bread
• 6 large Eggs
• 2 cups Whole milk
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cups Grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Dried parsley
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 stalks Green onions

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with unsalted butter and set aside.

Step 2

Slice the French bread into thick slices, about 1 inch thick. Arrange them in the greased baking dish, overlapping slightly if necessary.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, heavy cream, garlic powder, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 4

Pour half of the egg mixture evenly over the bread slices, ensuring the bread is soaking up the liquid.

Step 5

Sprinkle half of the shredded cheddar cheese and grated Parmesan cheese over the bread slices.

Step 6

Pour the remaining egg mixture over the bread, then top with the remaining shredded cheddar and Parmesan cheese.

Step 7

Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.

Step 8

After 25 minutes, remove the foil and continue to bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is golden brown and the edges are crispy.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with thinly sliced green onions before serving.

Step 10

Serve warm and enjoy!
