This nice thing about this recipe is that you can make it the night before you plan to cook it and stick it in the fridge. In the morning, just preheat the oven and let the pan warm up to room temperature before popping it in. All the work is already done for you so there’s no sweating it out in the kitchen!

Ingredients
12 slices egg bread (or any type of bread will work), cubed
12 slices Oscar Mayer crispy bacon, crumbled (or 1 cup diced ham)
3 green onions, sliced
½ red bell pepper, finely diced
4 cups Kraft grated cheese, cheddar works well
6 eggs
3 cups milk
½ teaspoon each dry mustard, salt & black pepper
Instructions
Cube bread and leave out overnight or place in the oven at 300 degrees for about 10 minutes to dry slightly. (Do not brown or toast it).
Combine eggs, milk, & seasonings.
Layer ½ of the cubes in a greased 9×13 pan. Top with ½ of the bacon, green onions, red peppers and cheese. Repeat layers one more time.
Pour egg mixture over top. Cover and refrigerate overnight (or at least 3 hours).
Remove from fridge and let sit on the counter while preheating the oven to 350 degrees. Bake covered with foil 45-55 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. (If you are baking 2 pans increase cooking time to 60-80 minutes).
