Grease a rectangular casserole dish.

Line the bottom of the dish with slices of crusty bread.

Top the bread with slices of Canadian bacon.

Sprinkle 200 g of grated cheddar cheese on top of the bacon.

Cover with a final layer of bread slices.

In a large measuring cup, crack in 8 eggs.

Add 3 cups of milk, salt, black pepper, 1 teaspoon of dry mustard powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of dried chili flakes to the eggs.

Whisk the mixture until well incorporated.

Gently pour the egg mixture over the entire casserole, ensuring each slice of bread is soaked.

Cover the casserole and store it in the fridge overnight.

In the morning, add 2 cups of cornflakes on top, crushing them slightly as you sprinkle.

Drizzle with 1/4 cup of melted butter.

Bake in a preheated 350°F (180°C) oven for 1 hour or until set and golden brown.

Allow to rest for 10 minutes before serving.
