Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
Cut the bread into cubes and spread evenly in the baking dish.
In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and mustard.
Pour the egg mixture over the bread cubes in the dish.
Sprinkle the cheese, diced ham or sausage, and vegetables on top.
Press down gently to ensure the bread absorbs the egg mixture.
Bake for 30 to 40 minutes until the center is set and the top is golden.
Let it cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

For a vegetarian version, simply omit the meat and add more vegetables or black beans for added protein. Use stale bread for better absorption.
