Breakfast Egg Casserole with Bread and Bacon - It's that Easy!

milk

🥗Healthier: almond milk

💰Cheaper: water + powdered milk

Almond milk reduces calories and is dairy-free.

cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Nutritional yeast adds flavor without dairy.

ham

🥗Healthier: turkey bacon

💰Cheaper: bacon

Turkey bacon is leaner and lower in fat.

spinach

🥗Healthier: kale

💰Cheaper: frozen spinach

Kale is nutrient-dense and often more affordable frozen.

Chop the red and green peppers into somewhat large pieces.

Layer the bottom of the baking dish with dried bread cubes.

Mix 12 eggs and 6 cups of milk together in a bowl (note: mix eggs before adding milk for easier mixing).

Layer the chopped peppers over the bread cubes.

Sprinkle about 1 cup of pre-cooked bacon bits over the peppers.

Add 2 teaspoons of garlic powder (sprinkle it in if added after pouring some egg mixture).

Pour the egg and milk mixture over the layers in the baking dish, ensuring it's flat and that bread cubes are submerged as much as possible.

If some bread cubes stick up, it's okay as it adds crunch.

Bake the casserole for 45 minutes, checking for doneness with a fork (if it comes out clean, it's done). If it's still liquidy, bake for an additional 10 minutes.
