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
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
