3. Step-by-Step Cooking Instructions & Crisping Secrets
The cooking process is where the magic happens – by whisking the egg mixture and then pouring it over the bread slices, you create a rich, cheesy crust that’s crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside.
Don’t forget to sprinkle the grated cheese over the top for an extra layer of flavor and texture!

Step-by-Step Culinary Timeline
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Arrange the bread slices on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together the beaten eggs, chopped parsley, chopped chives, salt, and pepper.
4. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread slices, making sure each slice is coated.
5. Sprinkle the grated cheddar cheese over the egg mixture, followed by the chopped cooked bacon.
6. Bake the bread toasts in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the bread is crispy and golden brown.
Meal-Prep Storage & Crispy Air-Fryer Reheating Guide
• Cool Before Sealing: Let cooked portions cool for 10 minutes before sealing in glass containers so steam never softens the crust (keeps 4 days in the fridge).
• Sauce on the Side: Store dips, drizzles, and fresh herbs separately until right before serving.
• 3-Minute Crispy Reheat: Reheat in a 380°F (193°C) air fryer or dry cast-iron skillet for 3–4 minutes to restore shatteringly crisp edges.
