Ingredients
Scale
- 8 large eggs
- 2 cups milk (whole or 2%)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 6 slices of cooked bacon, crumbled
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your choice)
- 4 cups cubed bread (sourdough, French bread, or whole wheat)
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder until well combined.
- In the prepared baking dish, layer the cubed bread evenly across the bottom. Sprinkle the crumbled bacon and shredded cheese over the bread.
- Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread, bacon, and cheese. Press down gently to ensure the bread absorbs the egg mixture.
- Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped green onions if desired. Slice and serve warm.
Notes
Use day-old bread for better absorption. Customize with your favorite meats and veggies.
