Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 8 large large eggs
  • 2 cups milk (or a dairy-free alternative)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 cup diced bell peppers (mix of colors)
  • 1 cup chopped onions
  • 1 cup cooked sausage or bacon, crumbled (optional)
  • 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite melting cheese)
  • 6 cups cubed bread (day-old works best)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and garlic powder until well combined.
  3. Combine the Ingredients: Add in the diced bell peppers, chopped onions, crumbled sausage (if using), and shredded cheese. Stir until everything is well incorporated.
  4. Layer the Bread: Place the cubed bread evenly in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Pour the egg mixture over the bread, pressing down gently to help it soak in.
Baking
  1. Bake the Casserole: Cover with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole has set.
Serving
  1. Cool and Serve: Let the casserole cool for about 10 minutes before cutting into squares. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

Feel free to swap spinach with kale for a stronger flavor or add in ingredients like mushrooms or zucchini based on your preference. Allow the mixture to soak for at least 30 minutes before baking for best results.
