6 cups bread, cut into 1 inch cubes, crust on (I used Udi’s)
2 cups cheese (I used cheddar but also great with pepper jack or fontina)
1 onion, diced
1 cup chopped spinach
4-5 slices bacon, cooked crisp and chopped (or use sausage/ham)
10 eggs
2 1/2 cups milk
1/2 cup half and half
3/4 tsp. kosher salt
Recipe
Preheat oven 325. Grease a 9×813 baking dish.
Scatter half the bread in the bottom. Sprinkle with most of the cheese (reserve some for the top), then the onion and spinach.
Top with the rest of the bread cubes. Whisk the eggs, milk, half and half and salt.
Pour this custard over the bread, cover and let soak 20-30 mins.
Uncover, sprinkle with the rest of the cheese (more if u like!) and bacon.
Bake approx 40-45 mins. until puffed and set. Let rest 10 mins before serving!!!
