It's like bread pudding, only with bacon. Yummy. You can add pretty much anything to this and it works. Hashbrowns, sautéed veggies, mushrooms, spinach.. your imagination is the limit! Serve with a green salad for a brunch or casual dinner.
Ingredients:
1 lb breakfast sausage, browned and drained
12 ounces bacon, browned and drained
1/2 loaf day-old french bread, cubed
3 cups shredded cheddar cheese
10 eggs
3 cups half-and-half (can substitute milk)
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon dry mustard
salsa, for topping (optional)
Directions:
1. In a 9 x 13 greased pan, layer bread cubes, sausage, bacon and cheese.
2. In a separate bowl, beat eggs with the 1/2 and 1/2, salt, pepper, and mustard. Pour over the layered ingredients and make sure to press everything down into the custard mixture.
3. Cover and refrigerate over night. If your in a hurry you can weigh the top down with cans and cut the wait time down to about 2 hours (ok, so not so much a hurry but it's faster than overnight!)
4. Take out of refrigerator and let set at room temperature 30 minutes before baking 50-60 minutes at 350 degrees. Knife inserted into the center should come out clean.
