Ingredients

12 thick slices white bread, cut into 1 inch cubes
2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
1.5 cups chopped fresh mushrooms
0.25 cup crumbled cooked bacon
12 eggs eggs
2.5 cups half-and-half
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Instructions

Assemble all of the necessary ingredients.
In a large bowl, combine the cubed bread, cheese, mushrooms, and bacon. Then, transfer the mixture to a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Whisk together the eggs, half-and-half, and mustard until the mixture is smooth. Pour this evenly over the bread mixture in the dish.
For best results, cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight. If baking immediately, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Remove the plastic wrap and bake in the preheated oven until the eggs are set and the top is golden brown, approximately 1 hour. Allow it to stand for 10 minutes before serving.
