Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375ðF (190ðC) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  2. Cube your preferred bread into 1-inch pieces and spread them evenly in the prepared baking dish.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined and slightly frothy.
  4. Fold in shredded cheese, cooked meat (if using), and any desired vegetables into the egg mixture.
  5. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread cubes, ensuring all pieces are submerged.
  6. Let the casserole sit for 10 minutes to allow the bread to absorb the liquid.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.
  8. Remove from oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
