How to Make Easy Cheese Bake

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Butter a 9x9 inch square or other shallow 1 ½ quart casserole dish.
Arrange 6-8 slices of bread (about 6 cups cubed) in an even layer, cutting slices to fit the bottom of the pan.
In a medium bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs, 1 cup milk, 2 tablespoons minced onion, 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper.
Stir in 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese until well combined.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread in the prepared baking dish.
Let the casserole stand at room temperature for 15 minutes to allow the bread to absorb the egg mixture.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is puffed and lightly browned. If desired, sprinkle with an additional ½ cup of shredded cheddar cheese during the last 5 minutes of baking.
Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy hot!
