Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350&# 194;°F (175ðC).
  2. Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
  3. Arrange your chosen bread cubes, cooked bacon, sausage, or vegetables evenly in the bottom of the prepared dish.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, heavy cream, salt, and black pepper until well combined and slightly frothy.
  5. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the ingredients in the baking dish, ensuring all nooks are filled.
  6. Sprinkle shredded cheese, such as cheddar or mozzarella, evenly over the top.
  7. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes.
  8. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is golden brown.
  9. Let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
