Everyone’s favorite sandwich now in casserole form! This grilled cheese bake is a fun way to turn this lunchtime classic into supper.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups cubed bread (I used ciabatta bread, but any nice country bread will do!)
  • 2 cups halved cherry tomatoes
  • 8 ounces Velveeta, cubed
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 3 tablespoons butter, cut into pieces
  • Fresh ground pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 and butter a 2 quart casserole
  2. Mix egg and milk together. Put bread cubes in a mixing bowl and pour the egg mixture over them and stir. Let sit for 20 minutes so the bread can soak up the egg, giving it a toss every 5 minutes or so.
  3. When the bread is nice and soaked, stir in the cheese and the tomatoes. Pour the whole mixture into the buttered casserole and top with butter. Grind some fresh ground pepper on top.
  4. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until cheese is melted. Cool for five minutes and serve!

Notes

  • Velveeta: Yes, you MUST. It’s the best way to get the creamy, melty deliciousness that is key to this kid-friendly casserole!

  • Bread: You can use any bread you have on hand – I have made this with everything from leftover hot dog rolls to my favorite, a nice fresh ciabatta bread.
