How to Make Bacon Egg Casserole
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch glass baking dish and set aside.
- Cook 6 slices of bacon until crispy. Remove from pan, drain on paper towels, and chop into 1-inch pieces.
- Cube 4 cups of stale bread into ¾-inch pieces. Set aside.
- Finely chop 1 medium onion and sauté in 1 tablespoon of butter until softened. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 8 large eggs, 1 cup of milk, 1 teaspoon of mustard powder, and ½ teaspoon of salt.
- Stir in the cooked bacon, sautéed onion, 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese, and the cubed bread. Mix well to combine.

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!
