Ingredients
  

8 large eggs

2 cups whole milk

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 cup diced ham (or cooked sausage)

1 cup diced bell peppers (red and green)

1 small onion, chopped

2 cups cubed bread (preferably sourdough or whole grain)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon dried oregano

Salt and pepper to taste

1 tablespoon olive oil (for cooking)

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onions and bell peppers, sautéing until they are soft, for about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

      In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined. Stir in garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper.

        In a greased 9x13 inch baking dish, layer the cubed bread evenly on the bottom. Sprinkle the sautéed onion and bell pepper mixture over the bread, followed by the diced ham (or sausage) and then the shredded cheddar cheese.

          Pour the egg mixture evenly over the entire casserole, ensuring bread is thoroughly soaked.

            Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the casserole is golden brown and set in the middle.

              Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before slicing it into squares to serve.

                  - Presentation Tips: Serve warm with a side of fresh fruit or a dollop of sour cream on top for added flavor. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a burst of color!
