Cheesy Bacon Breakfast Casserole

I absolutely adore breakfast recipes that can be tossed together in a pinch and this Cheesy Bacon Breakfast Casserole is so simple and can feed a crowd!

Even though breakfast casseroles are super delicious and awesome...I absolutely hate taking pictures of them. Unless it's a sweet recipe, it's so hard to make them look pretty. This one just looks like a block of cheese with bacon. I do suppose that I'd eat that (LOL), but it'd be nice if I could capture just how tasty this hunk of breakfast casserole is. I used French bread that I purchased from my grocery store's deli section and did not add any fresh herbs on top - although I totally wish I did.

This takes very little effort and is so so good. It's the perfect breakfast - cheese, bacon, and eggs. Plus it's great to feed a small army, if you happen to find yourself needing to feed a crowd.

Directions:

1. Place cubes of bread into a greased baking dish.
2. In a medium-sized bowl, mix together eggs, cheese, and milk. Season with salt and pepper.
3. Pour egg mixture over the bread and let sit for about 5 minutes to allow it to soak into the bread. Then top with bacon.

5. Remove from the oven and top with fresh herbs, if desired.
