Ingredients

• 12 slices bacon
• 1/4 cup butter, melted
• 3 cups croutons
• 2 cups cheddar cheese, grated
• 6 eggs
• 1 3/4 cups milk
• 1 bell pepper, diced
• 1 tablespoon mustard
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Preparation

Step 1

Place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Drain, crumble and set aside.

Preheat oven to 325°F

Melt butter in the microwave, or in a small pan on the stove over low heat.

Spray a 9x12 inch baking dish with vegetable spray. Place croutons in the bottom of the dish, and drizzle with melted butter. Sprinkle with grated Cheddar cheese.

Crack the eggs into a bowl, whisking to break up the yolks. Add milk, peppers, mustard, salt, and pepper, and beat until well-combined. Pour over the croutons and cheese, and sprinkle with crumbled bacon.

Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to stand 10 minutes before serving.
