How to Make Overnight Brunch Casserole

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Butter a 13 x 9-inch baking pan.
  3. In the prepared baking pan, place 6 cups of cubed French or sourdough bread.
  4. Evenly distribute 6 slices cooked and crumbled bacon and 5 ounces of fresh spinach over the bread cubes.
  5. Sprinkle 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese over the bacon and spinach.
  6. In a large bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs, 1 cup of half-and-half, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard.
  7. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread, bacon, spinach, and cheese, ensuring all bread is moistened.
  8. Cover the baking pan tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight (or for at least 4 hours).
  9. Remove plastic wrap and bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the casserole is set, golden brown, and heated through.
  10. Garnish with 2 tablespoons chopped scallions and 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley before serving.
