Time 9h45m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound bacon
1 pound fresh asparagus, trimmed
8 eggs
2 cups milk
¼ teaspoon dry mustard powder
½ teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon pepper
1 (1 pound) loaf sliced bread, crusts removed
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
¼ cup diced onion
½ red bell pepper, diced
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Cook the bacon in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on a paper towel-lined plate. Crumble the bacon and set aside.
  • Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Cover and bring the water to a boil. Add the asparagus, cover, and steam until bright green but still crunchy, about 5 minutes. Remove asparagus and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, dry mustard, salt, and pepper until smooth and well combined.
  • Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish. Layer the bread slices into the bottom of the dish, cutting and fitting extra slices as needed to fill spaces. Sprinkle 1 cup of Cheddar cheese over the bread, followed by the diced onion. Arrange asparagus spears and red bell pepper in a layer over the onion. Sprinkle crumbled bacon over the red bell pepper; top with another layer of bread slices, cutting and filling in spaces as before. Pour the egg-milk mixture evenly over the casserole, and refrigerate overnight.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Bake the casserole for 50 minutes; sprinkle 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese over the top of the casserole, return to the oven, and bake until the cheese is melted and bubbling and a knife inserted into the center of the casserole comes out clean, 10 to 15 more minutes.
