Ingredients
6 large eggs
1½ cups whole milk
6 cups cubed white bread
1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
8 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
½ cup diced red bell pepper
½ cup diced green bell pepper
¼ cup finely diced onion
1 tsp garlic powder
½ tsp paprika
½ tsp dried Italian seasoning
½ tsp black pepper
½ tsp salt
1 tbsp butter or cooking spray, for greasing
Instructions
Prepare the ingredients: Cook the bacon until crispy, drain, and crumble. Dice the red pepper, green pepper, and onion.
Make the egg mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, garlic powder, paprika, Italian seasoning, black pepper, and salt.
Assemble the casserole: Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish. Spread the cubed bread evenly over the bottom.
Sprinkle the diced peppers, onion, crispy bacon, and shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the bread.
Pour the egg mixture slowly over everything, making sure the bread is well coated.
Rest: Let the casserole sit for about 10–15 minutes so the bread can absorb the egg mixture.
Bake: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake uncovered for 35–45 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is beautifully golden and bubbly.
Let it cool for 5–10 minutes, then slice and serve warm.
