Instructions

Prepare the Bread Cubes: Cut day-old bread into bite-sized cubes. Spread them on a baking sheet and toast lightly in the oven for extra crunch if desired.
Cook the Meat and Vegetables: In a skillet, cook breakfast sausage or bacon until crispy. Remove and drain. In the same pan, sauté onions and bell peppers until soft and fragrant.
Mix the Custard Base: In a large bowl, whisk eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until combined. Stir in maple syrup or honey if using.
Combine All Ingredients: Gently fold bread cubes, cooked meat, sautéed vegetables, and shredded cheese in a large mixing bowl. Pour egg mixture over and stir carefully to coat evenly.
Pour Into Bundt Pan and Bake: Thoroughly grease bundt pan with butter or cooking spray and lightly flour it. Transfer mixture into pan evenly. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 45-50 minutes until golden brown and set in the center.
Cool and Serve: Let casserole cool for 10 minutes before unmolding onto a serving plate. Slice and serve warm for best taste.

Notes

Use day-old bread to avoid soggy texture and achieve the best custardy consistency.
Do not overmix the ingredients; stir gently to keep the bread cubes intact.
Grease and flour the bundt pan well to prevent sticking and ensure clean removal.
Check doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center; it should come out clean.
Allow casserole to rest before slicing for easier, neater portions.
