Ingredients
- 8 cups day-old bread, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 8 large eggs
- 3 cups milk
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar

- 2 tbsp dijon mustard
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper

Instructions
- Place the bread in a greased 9×13″ casserole dish and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, mustard, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Stir in the ham, onions, bell peppers, and cheeses.
- Pour the mixture over the bread. Gently fold the bread over to evenly distribute all the ingredients. Cover and place in the fridge for a minimum of 1 hour or overnight.
