Make Ahead Bacon, Egg and Cheese Breakfast Casserole
Ingredients:
1 loaf white bread, diced into cubes
2 packs of bacon, diced into small pieces
8 eggs, beaten
2 cups milk
2 tsp Dijon mustard(optional)
2 tbsp Worchestershire sauce
Kosher salt and pepper to taste
2 to 3 cups of sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
Spray a 9 x 13 inch casserole pan with cooking spray.
Cook the diced bacon in a skillet until it is nice and crispy. Place cooked bacon on a paper towel lined plate and set aside.
Whisk together the eggs, milk, Dijon mustard, Worchestershire sauce, salt and pepper in a bowl.
Take half of your bread cubes and make a single layer into your prepared casserole dish.
Add a layer of half of your bacon on top of the bread.
Take 1 to 1.5 cup of the cheese and sprinkle over the bacon and bread cubes.
Repeat those steps again by adding a second layer of bread, bacon and cheese. Using the remainder.
Pour or ladle the egg mixture over top of the casserole. Making sure that it is coated evenly.
Cover the casserole with foil and chill in the refrigerator overnight.
When you are ready to serve, bake at 350 degrees for about 45 to 50 minutes, until it is puffy and nice and golden. Serve hot.
