I've made this recipe many times. It's delicious and it can be made the night before, cover and refrigerate it; next morning pop it in the oven. 

I'm prepping a couple of dishes today for brunch tomorrow - this casserole, a big bowl of mixed fruit, assorted pastries & bagels from a local bakery and pitchers of juices + Bloody Mary's

Breakfast Casserole (Serves 4-6)

Prep Time: 2 mins
Cook Time: 45 mins

---

Ingredients

• 6 large eggs, whisked
• 2/3 cups milk
• 1 cup cheese, shredded (you can use Mexican cheese blend, mozzarella, cheddar, or Monterey Jack)
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 5 slices day-old whole wheat bread, cut into cubes
• 4 pieces of bacon, cooked and crumbled into bite-size pieces
• 1 cup cooked vegetables, chopped (broccoli, corn, bell peppers, onions or anything you have leftover from last night’s dinner)

Preparation

1. Preheat the oven to 350 F.

2. In a bowl whisk the eggs, milk, cheese and salt until thoroughly combined.

3. Soak the cubed bread in the egg mixture and stir until just combined (you don’t want to over mix the bread or it will break apart).

4. Fold in the remaining ingredients.

5. Pour the mixture into an 8×8 inch greased pan and bake for 45-50 minutes or until the top is golden.

6. Serve.

*Can be doubled and cooked in a 13 x 9 inch dish

This casserole looks delicious.  I have a similar one but instead of bacon I brown some sausage and do not add any veggies just the cheese and top it with cheese.  My husband and I like this type of food sometimes for dinner so we usually add a side of fruit with it.  The veggies sound so delicious so I will  be trying this receipe next time.  Thanks for sharing.
