Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 slices Bacon
- 8 large Eggs
- 2 cups Whole milk
- 2 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 4 cups Day-old bread, cubed
- 0.5 cup Green onions, sliced
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 1 unit Cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
In a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon and drain on paper towels. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into small pieces.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Add the cubed bread, shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, and sliced green onions to the egg mixture. Gently stir until the bread is evenly coated.
Melt the tablespoon of butter in a microwave or small saucepan. Drizzle the melted butter over the mixture and gently fold to incorporate.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Cover the dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, remove the foil and bake uncovered for an additional 15 minutes, or until the top is golden and the casserole is set in the center.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Garnish with additional green onions, if desired. Serve warm and enjoy your Christmas morning!
