Instructions:
-
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease a 2-quart casserole dish lightly with cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking.
-
Prepare Croutons and Cheese Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the croutons and cheddar cheese. Mix them well to ensure an even distribution.
-
Layer in Casserole Dish: Transfer the crouton and cheese mixture into the greased casserole dish, spreading it out evenly to form a base layer.
-
Whisk Eggs and Milk: In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, prepared mustard, salt, and pepper until well combined. This will create a creamy custard mixture that binds the casserole together.
-
Pour Egg Mixture Over Croutons: Carefully pour the egg mixture over the croutons in the casserole dish, ensuring that it covers the entire surface evenly.
-
Add Bacon Toppings: Sprinkle the bacon slices evenly over the top of the egg mixture. The crispy bacon adds a delicious crunch and savory flavor to the casserole.
-
Bake: Place the casserole dish in the preheated oven and bake uncovered for about 45 minutes, or until the casserole is set and the top is golden brown.
-
Serve: Once baked to perfection, remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Cut into generous slices and serve warm.
Enjoy this delightful Brunch Casserole with your favorite breakfast sides or as a standalone dish for a satisfying meal that will surely impress your family and friends!
