Ingredients:
- 1 pound bacon, sliced
- 8 slices whole wheat bread
- 6 eggs
- 1 ½ cups milk
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- ½ teaspoon dry mustard
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
- Cut the bacon strips crosswise into pieces that are about half an inch wide. Cook the bacon pieces in a frying pan over medium heat until they’re crispy. Once done, blot the cooked bacon with paper towels to remove any excess grease, and then discard any accumulated bacon fat.
- Remove the crusts from the bread slices, and set them aside for another use.
- Cut the bread slices into cubes, and set them aside.
- In a large bowl, beat the eggs together with the milk, cheese, and mustard until everything is well combined.
- Gently stir the cooked bacon and bread cubes into the egg mixture until everything is evenly distributed, then spoon the mixture into a buttered 8-inch square baking dish.
- Cover the baking dish tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate it overnight to allow the flavors to meld together.
- The next day, remove the baking dish from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes before baking.
- Bake the casserole uncovered in the preheated oven at 325°F (160°C) for 45 minutes or until a knife inserted midway between the center and outer edge comes out clean.
