These are the conversation between boy and girl who are dating. I am sure this is kind of a joke, but is "Bake our heads into it" has any slang meaning??
Girl: I got some cheese in the oven.
Boy: Really? Why do you say we..
Girl: Bake our heads into it?
Boy: You just read my mind!
(both laughs)
I asked this question at English/Japanese section, because I'm doing translating English to Japanese. I could get good clues, but we couldn't reach the absolute answer....

no slang meaning
At least I've never heard it. Nor do I think this is a UK/US thing :)
A literal joke that has kind of a double meaning:
1) brings up an image of them sticking their heads into the oven to get the cheese.
2) the whole teenage suicide stereotype

drug allusion
to get "baked", but still just a wild guess

to make them into "cheeseheads"
The word "cheesehead" - amongst other things - is a slang for a 1. sentimental, dramatic person,
2. a fool,
3. someone who does Ecstasy,
4. and it is also used as a nickname for somebody from Wisconsin. The story of that is explained here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheesehead
Whichever of the explanations they relate to, I think the joke is based on the expression "cheesehead".

Discussion
And the scene(conversations) ends with this phrase. Before that, they talks about music they like, hobbies etc. Normal date conversation. So, by considering the answers below, maybe this phrase is not slang or something, and meaning as it is. Thanks for your notes and answers!
