Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 slices Bacon
- 6 large Eggs
- 0.5 cups Milk
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 4 slices Day-old bread
- 1 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 stalks Green onions (chopped)
- 1 as needed Cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly grease a small baking dish (approximately 8x8 inches) with cooking spray.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy. Remove and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease. Once cool, crumble the bacon into bite-sized pieces.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until fully combined.
Cut the day-old bread into small cubes, approximately 1-inch in size. Spread the bread cubes evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Sprinkle the crumbled bacon on top of the bread cubes, followed by the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the layered bread, bacon, and cheese. Gently press down with a spoon or spatula to ensure the bread soaks up the egg mixture.
Sprinkle the chopped green onions on top for added color and flavor.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
After 25 minutes, remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 20 minutes, or until the casserole is puffed up, golden brown, and set in the center.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Slice into portions and serve warm. Enjoy your Couples Bec Breakfast Casserole with a side of fruit or your favorite cup of coffee!
