This bread with eggs recipe is always a good idea for any occasion. It works for a quick weekday breakfast or a lazy weekend brunch with family. I love that it is simple enough for kids to help make but fancy enough to serve to guests.

To store leftovers, let the bread cool completely and wrap it in foil. Keep it in the fridge for up to two days. To reheat, pop it in a toaster or a hot skillet for a few minutes until crispy.

For serving, I like to add a side of fresh fruit or a small salad. It also works great as a sandwich with bacon and cheese. This recipe is a staple in my home and I think it will become one in yours too.
