For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of garlic powder or a dash of hot sauce to the egg mixture. If you prefer a softer casserole, use slightly stale bread instead of croutons. Feel free to customize this recipe with your favorite cheeses, meats, and vegetables. Diced ham, sausage, mushrooms, or spinach would all be delicious additions. To prevent the top from browning too quickly, you can loosely tent the casserole with aluminum foil during the last 15 minutes of baking.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a large bowl, gently combine the croutons, shredded Cheddar cheese, and crumbled bacon. Transfer the mixture to a greased 11x7-inch baking dish. (5 minutes)
02
StepIn a separate bowl, whisk together the beaten eggs, yellow mustard, onion powder, and black pepper until well combined. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the crouton mixture in the baking dish. (3 minutes)
03
StepCover the baking dish tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 8 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the croutons to absorb the egg mixture. (8 hours)
04
StepPreheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Remove the plastic wrap from the baking dish. (5 minutes)
05
StepBake in the preheated oven for approximately 45 minutes, or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean and the casserole is golden brown and set. (45 minutes)
06
StepRemove the casserole from the oven and let it stand for 5 minutes before serving. This allows it to set further and makes it easier to slice. (5 minutes)
