This is an amazing casserole that does take a little planing as you make it the night before to let it set before you cook it the next morning. Has an amazing combination of egg and bacon and has a nice bread. This is an amazing overnight breakfast casserole.
Growing up this was one of my favorite breakfasts that we would have during the year we would only have it once a year or a few times after we made it if there were leftovers. It was normally on Christmas or New Year so it was always special. This is still one of my favorite breakfasts. This Breakfast has the consistency of bread pudding most of the cheese and flavor is on the top. I know the first time that my wife had this that is something that surprised her was that the breading didn't have as much flavor. This is an amazing breakfast that you and your family will love this Breakfast Casserole.
Other versions that you could try

- Added some spice: try adding some jalapeño to it or some chili powder to the egg mix
- Change the topping: you can use a digest cream soup like chicken or broccoli changes up the flavor a bit
Ingredients
Bread - is the base of the casserole it will need to be slid or broken apart to make it easier for the milk to set in and to mix the flavors.
cheese - cheese adds a nice cheese flavor and adds some pull to it as well so that it has a nice creamy texture as well
Bacon - gives a nice bacon flavor and gives nice bits to add to the flavor make sure too cook it crispy so that it is easy to break apart or were you want it as it doesn’t seem to get cooked much more in the casserole helps also bring in need salt
Eggs- what makes it breakfast it also helps to pull every thing together and helps fluff it up the casserole
Milk - helps every thing to mix together and helps the eggs be more fluffy
Cream of mushroom- helps added flavor and topping to the casserole
dry mustard- this is optional but I can be a great addition for flavor at time I feel like it is just lost that is why we left it out
How to make it
Take the bread and put it in the pan break it up as needed to be able to feel each bottom then place a layer of cheese on top then place a second layer of bread and cheese then repeat tell you just a little lower than the top off the baking tray. This will normally be two to three layers. depending on the size of the pan
Mix up the eggs and milk and pour them over
Cook the bacon on the stovetop in a pan or you can cook it in the oven as well. Feel like I have a little bit better control so that is my preferred method.
Once it is cooked and christy and cool enough to touch break a part top once you have done this it is ready for the fridge
Place in the fridge and let sit overnight
In the morning before adding the last two ingredients pull the casserole out of the fridge and mix the milk and the soup and milk together then pour on the top and place it in the oven for 1.5 hours at 300 Fahrenheit
Pull out of the oven and serve
