Ingredients for Baked Cheese Sandwiches

  • 8 slices of bread
  • Butter
  • 2 tablespoons mustard
  • 8 slices velveeta cheese (approximately 1 cup)
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

How to Make Baked Cheese Sandwiches

  1. Butter both sides of 8 slices of bread.
  2. Arrange 4 slices of bread in the bottom of a greased 9x13 inch baking pan.
  3. Spread 2 tablespoons of mustard evenly over the bread slices.
  4. Top each bread slice with 2 slices of velveeta cheese (approximately 1/2 cup total).
  5. Cover with the remaining 4 slices of bread.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs, 1/2 cup milk, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  7. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread in the baking pan.
  8. Cover the pan and refrigerate overnight (or for at least 6 hours) to allow the bread to absorb the egg mixture.
  9. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (160 degrees C).
  10. Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until golden brown and heated through.
  11. Let cool slightly before cutting into serving-size pieces and serving hot.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
