Ingredients:
- 1 loaf of home-style bread, crusts cut off & cubed
- 8 eggs (if you use homemade bread, use 10 eggs)
- 1 ½ cups milk (if you use homemade bread increase milk ¼ cup)
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp pepper
- 8 ozs cheddar cheese
- 1 pound fried crisp bacon (slice bacon in pieces, then fry)
- ½ green pepper, diced
- ½ red pepper, diced
- 4 green onions, diced
Directions:
- Beat eggs, milk, salt and pepper thoroughly. Pour over bread in greased/buttered 13x9 baking dish.
- Layer the veggies over bread mixture then sprinkle with cheese. Lastly, top with already fried bacon. (You can substitute ham instead of bacon. Or heck! Use both).
- Cover with foil and refrigerate overnight. Bake at 350 degrees. For the first 15 minutes of baking leave dishes covered with foil. Bake a total of 40-50 minutes. Inserted knife in center should come out clean. Let rest for 10-15 minutes before cutting and serving.
- Note: if you like your cheese to be “crispy” then switch the layering of the cheese and bacon.
