How to Make Baked Breakfast Sandwich

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Trim crusts from 16 slices of bread and butter both sides.
Arrange 8 slices of buttered bread, butter-side down, in a greased 9x13 inch baking pan.
Sprinkle 2 cups of shredded sharp cheddar cheese over the bread.
In a large skillet, cook 1 pound of bacon until crispy. Remove bacon, reserving 2 tablespoons of bacon grease. Add 1/2 cup chopped onion, 1/2 cup chopped celery, and 1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper to the skillet and sauté until softened. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Pour the bacon and vegetable mixture evenly over the cheese.
Arrange 8 slices of tomato (about 2 medium tomatoes, sliced) over the bacon mixture.
Top with the remaining 8 slices of buttered bread, butter-side up.
In a medium bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs, 1 cup of milk, and 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread.
Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded sharp cheddar cheese over the top.
Cover the pan with foil and refrigerate overnight (optional, but recommended for better flavor).
Bake, uncovered, for 50-60 minutes, or until golden brown and the egg mixture is set.
Let stand for 10 minutes before cutting and serving. Enjoy with your favorite sides!
