Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 slices bacon
- 8 large eggs
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 6 slices day-old bread
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 stalks green onions (chopped)
- 1 tablespoon butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with butter.
Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove and place on paper towels to drain, then crumble into small pieces.
Cut the day-old bread slices into 1-inch cubes and layer them evenly in the casserole dish.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Sprinkle the crumbled bacon and shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the bread cubes in the casserole dish.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread, bacon, and cheese, ensuring all the bread pieces are soaked.
Top with chopped green onions for an extra burst of flavor and color.
Cover the casserole dish with aluminum foil and bake in the oven for 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes, remove the foil and bake uncovered for an additional 10 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is set.
Let the casserole cool slightly for about 5 minutes before serving. Slice into portions and enjoy warm.
