Ranks compare each pair with 20,000 random ingredient pairs on CompKitchen. How we score pairs

What each ingredient does

Eggs

Set when heated, forming a custard-like topping that holds the dish together.

Milk

Thins the eggs and keeps the set custard tender and moist rather than rubbery.

Butter

Adds richness and helps the bread brown and taste savoury when fried.

Cold biscuits or dry light bread

Acts as the base that soaks up the egg mixture and gives the dish its body.
