Ingredients

• 2 large eggs
• 4 pieces cornbread
• 1 cup prepared chili
• 0.5 cup milk
• 0.25 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Place the skillet over medium heat. Cook for 2 minutes; flip and distribute the cheese and chili evenly over the slices. Cover and cook until the chili is hot, reducing the heat as needed to prevent burning the bottom, 5 to 10 minutes.

Step 2

Pour milk into a glass measuring cup. Add eggs and whisk until well blended. Pour into a nonstick skillet with a glass lid that's just large enough for the bread. Add the cornbread slices in a single layer. Soak until about half of the liquid is absorbed, about 5 minutes. Flip the bread and allow it to soak up the remaining liquid.
