Ingredients:

• 8 slices of bacon
• 8 large eggs
• 2 cups milk
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/2 cup chopped green onions
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 cups cubed bread (day-old bread works best)
• Optional: 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard powder for extra flavor

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
2. Cook Bacon: In a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove from the skillet and drain on paper towels. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into small pieces.
3. Prepare Egg Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and dry mustard powder (if using).
4. Assemble Casserole: Spread the cubed bread evenly in the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the crumbled bacon and chopped green onions over the bread. Pour the egg mixture over the top, making sure all the bread is soaked. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
5. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the casserole is set and the top is golden brown. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean.
6. Serve: Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy it warm with your favorite breakfast sides.

Tips:

• Make Ahead: You can assemble this casserole the night before and refrigerate it. In the morning, just pop it in the oven and bake as directed.
• Variations: Feel free to add other ingredients like sautéed mushrooms, bell peppers, or spinach for extra flavor and nutrition.
• Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven before serving.
