Notes

For an elevated casserole, consider lightly sautéing the diced bell pepper and garlic before mixing, which deepens their flavor. If using raw bacon, crisp it gently beforehand and drain excess fat to prevent a greasy casserole and add texture. Ensure all ingredients, especially the bread cubes, are evenly distributed for consistent bites. Be mindful not to overbake; the casserole is done when the eggs are just set and no longer jiggly in the center, preventing a dry, rubbery texture. A sprinkle of fresh chives or chopped parsley after baking will add brightness and a professional finish. For a richer flavor, swap some milk for heavy cream.
