Step by Step Method

Step 1

Place the bread cubes in a well-buttered 13 x 9 x 2 inch baking dish. Melt 3 tablespoons butter and drizzle over the bread cubes. Sprinkle with the cheeses.

Step 2

Melt the remaining 3 tablespoons butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat; add the onion and garlic. Saute for 2 to 3 minutes or until tender. Whisk in the flour until smooth. Cook, whisking constantly, for 2 to 3 minutes or until lightly browned. Whisk in the broth and the next 4 ingredients until well blended. Bring the mixture to a boil; reduce the heat to medium low, and simmer, stirring occasionally for 15 minutes or until thickened. Remove from heat and stir in the sour cream. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Step 3

Gradually whisk about one fourth of the hot sour cream mixture into eggs. Add the eggs to the remaining sour cream mixture, whisking constantly. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the cheeses in the baking dish. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 8 hours or up to 24 hours.

Step 4

Let stand at room temperature for one hour. Preheat the oven to 350º. Remove the plastic wrap and bake 30 minutes or until set. Serve immediately.
