Method
Preparation
- In a large bowl, combine the diced bell peppers, onions, diced tomatoes, chopped spinach, and cubed bread. Stir gently to ensure the bread is distributed evenly among the vegetables.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with the milk, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder until the mixture is smooth and slightly frothy.
- Pour the egg mixture evenly over the vegetable and bread mix. Stir gently so that all the bread cubes soak up the liquid. Use a spatula to press down lightly to encourage absorption.
- Fold in the shredded cheese, saving a bit to sprinkle on the top for a beautiful, cheesy crust.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight, letting the flavors meld for at least 6 to 12 hours.
Cooking
- The next day, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish, discarding the plastic wrap.
- Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until the center is set and the top is golden brown. Check with a toothpick; it should come out mostly clean.
- Allow the casserole to rest for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing, ensuring cleaner pieces.
