Cheesy Egg Bake Challah Recipes

CHEESY BAKED EGGS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Prepare a 9x13 inch baking dish with the melted butter.
• Whisk together the eggs, pepperjack cheese, cottage cheese, flour, and salt in a large bowl. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until eggs are completely set, about 1 hour.

CHEESY GARLIC BREAD CHALLAH

Steps:

• First, make your challah dough. Prepare the yeast in a large mixing bowl for a stand mixer by whisking it with warm water and 2 teaspoons sugar. Let yeast stand until it foams and puffs up, about 10 minutes. If it doesn't get foamy, your yeast is bad or the water was too warm or cool. Try again!
• Using the whisk attachment for the stand mixer, mix in the remaining sugar, eggs, and oil into the yeast mixture. (You can just use a whisk of you're doing this by hand too) Then gradually add 6 cups flour and salt and either with a hook attachment using an electric mixer or a spoon and your hands until combined. Knead for about 5-10 minutes, and form into a ball. If it's too sticky, add a bit more flour. Dough should be soft, smooth and slightly tacky.
• Place the dough in a bowl greased with oil and cover. Let dough ferment in a warm place until it has doubled in size, about 2-3 hours. I put mine on top of an oven heated to 200 degrees.
• Meanwhile, make the filling. In a small saucepan, combine butter and garlic and cook over medium low heat until garlic starts to brown and is fragrant, about 2 minutes. Season with salt to taste
• When the dough is ready, divide into three equal sized balls. Roll each one into a 10x14 rectangle, spread with garlic butter, and sprinkle with a bit of salt and cheese.Roll the rectangle up tightly like a jelly roll starting from the long end. The form a spiral to make a round mound. Repeat with the other dough balls.
• I like to bake each loaf on its own cookie sheet because they spread. Carefully place the loaves on three parchment lined baking sheets, cover lightly with plastic wrap, and let it rise again for 1 ½ hours or until more than doubled in size.
• Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Whisk the last egg yolk with 1 tablespoon water and generously brush over challah. Repeat to have two coats. Sprinkle with seeds. Bake two at a time for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown and with an internal temperature of 190 degrees F, rotating pans halfway through. If the challot start to brown too fast, cover with foil.
