Bacon and Cheese Strata
Ingredients
  • 12 thick slices white bread, cut into 1 inch cubes
  • 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
  • 1 1/2 cups chopped fresh mushrooms
  • 1/4 cup crumbled cooked bacon
  • 12 eggs
  • 2 1/2 cups half-and-half
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Instructions
1
Collect and prepare all necessary components
2
Combine cubed bread, shredded cheese, sliced mushrooms, and crispy bacon in a large bowl; transfer the mixture to a 9x13-inch baking dish.
3
Mix eggs, half-and-half, and spicy mustard thoroughly until a uniform consistency is achieved; pour the mixture evenly over the bread combination.
4
You can initiate baking immediately, but for enhanced results, cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate it overnight. When you're ready to bake, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
5
Lift the plastic wrap from the baking dish; bake the strata in the preheated oven until the eggs are solidified and the top is a golden brown hue, approximately 1 hour. Allow it to rest for 10 minutes before presenting.
