How to Make Bacon Breakfast Casserole
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- Cube 1 loaf (about 16 slices) of bread into 1-inch pieces.
- In a large bowl, combine cubed bread, 8 ounces shredded cheddar cheese, and 6 ounces cooked crumbled bacon.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 12 large eggs and 2 cups of milk.
- Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread mixture in the prepared baking dish, ensuring the bread is mostly submerged.
- Dot the top with 4 tablespoons of melted margarine.
- Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight (or for at least 2 hours).
- Bake for 60-90 minutes, or until the casserole is puffed, golden brown, and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
