  • 8 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup, plus more for serving
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • Pinch of salt
  • Butter, for greasing

Instructions

  1. Arrange bread cubes in a greased 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. Sprinkle crumbled bacon over the bread.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, 1/2 cup maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until well combined.
  4. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread and bacon.
  5. Cover the dish and refrigerate overnight, or for at least 4 hours.
  6. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  7. Bake, uncovered, for 45-55 minutes, or until the casserole is puffed up, golden brown, and cooked through.
  8. Let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
  9. Serve warm with extra maple syrup.

Notes

  • Challah or brioche bread works best because it’s slightly sweet and has a good texture.
  • You can cook the bacon the day before to save time.
  • Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup to the egg mixture.
