This is a great way to use up stale bread, whatever melting cheese you have in the fridge, and leftover veggies of all kinds!
6 cups of cubed bread
5 eggs
1 1/4 cups whole milk
1 1/4 cups whipping cream
1 tsp salt
2 (or more) cups grated cheese- a mix of varieties is fine!
A couple handfuls of chopped onion, sweet or hot peppers, leeks, kale, tomatoes, any kind of fresh herbs, or whatever suites your fancy!
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and butter a 2-quart of 2-liter casserole dish.
In a medium bowl, mix the eggs, cream, milk, and salt. Make a layer of about a third of the bread cubes at the bottom of the casserole dish, and sprinkle with about a third of the cheese and half of your veggies. Repeat for another layer, then top with the remaining bread cubes and cheese.
Pour the egg mixture into the casserole and bake for 40min. Let it rest for about 10min before serving.
