Ingredients
The following ingredients have 8 Servings
- 300g / 10 oz bacon (, diced (or ham))
- 6 large eggs
- 1 1/4 cups milk ((full cream or low fat))
- 1/4 tsp salt
- Black pepper
- 7 cups (packed) any plain bread (I use baguettes) (, cut into 2 cm / 1 inch cubes (preferably slightly stale, Note 1))
- 2 cups cheese (, shredded (Note 2))
- parsley (, finely chopped (garnish - optional))
Instruction
- Cook bacon: Heat a large non-stick frying pan over high heat. (Use a bit of oil if not using non-stick). Add all but 2 tbsp of bacon (reserve some for topping just before baking), cook until lightly browned. Remove from the pan and drain on a paper towel.
- Whisk eggs and milk: Whisk the eggs, milk, salt and pepper in a large bowl (or container, if leaving overnight).
- Soak bread: Add the bread, 1 1/2 cups of the cheese and the cooked bacon to the egg mixture. Mix well. Cover and set aside in the fridge for at least 30 minutes (until all the egg is soaked into the bread) or overnight.
