Delicious Bacon Breakfast Casserole Recipe for a Crowd

Ingredients

Servings:
6
  • 8 slices bacon (chopped)
  • 6 large eggs
  • 2 cups milk (whole or 2%)
  • 4 cups cubed bread (day-old bread works best)
  • 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar preferred)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

6 steps

  1. Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even cooking.
  2. Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy. Drain the excess fat.

    Use a slotted spoon to remove bacon and place on paper towels.
  3. Mix the Egg Mixture

    In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined.

    Make sure there are no egg whites left unmixed.
  4. Combine Ingredients

    Add the cubed bread, cooked bacon, and shredded cheese to the egg mixture. Stir to combine.

    Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to allow bread to soak up the egg.
  5. Bake the Casserole

    Pour the mixture into a greased baking dish and bake for 45-50 minutes or until the center is set.

    Check for doneness by inserting a knife into the center; it should come out clean.
  6. Serve

    Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

    Garnish with fresh herbs for added flavor.
