Equipment
- 9x13 Baking Dish
- Liquid Measuring Cup
- Measuring Spoons
Ingredients
- 10 eggs
- 2 cups milk
- 1 teaspoon salt optional
- 1 teaspoon dry mustard
- 5 slices bread, dried on the counter for about 12 hours cubed
- 1 1/4 pound bacon fried and cut into 1 inch pieces
- 1 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- chives to garnish
Instructions
- Grease 9 x 13 inch pan. Layer dried bread cubes in the bottom of the pan.
- Sprinkled shredded cheese over bread. Top with an even layer of bacon.
- Whisk eggs well. Add milk, dry mustard and salt. Mix well and pour across the top of the casserole dish. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
- Remove casserole from the refrigerator while the oven preheats to 350 degrees F. Cook casserole uncovered for 30 - 45 minutes until the center is set.
Notes
- Use dried bread when making an overnight casserole - fresh bread will be soggy
- If looking to decrease carbs fewer slices of bread can be used
- If looking to feed a crowd an extra slice or two of bread can be added
- Cook bacon and cut into one-inch strips or bite-sized pieces
- I prefer thick sliced bacon because more bacon is usually better
- Extra bacon can absolutely be used.
- Garnishing with chives or green onions is optional
- Keep the casserole covered in the refrigerator, but uncover when baking
