Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). This step ensures your casserole bakes evenly and achieves that beautiful golden color on top.
  2. Whisk together the eggs and milk in a large bowl. This creates a creamy base that will bind all your delicious ingredients together perfectly.
  3. Season the mixture by adding salt and pepper. Give it a good stir to distribute the flavors evenly throughout the egg mixture.
  4. Fold in the cubed bread, shredded cheese, and diced vegetables. Gently combine everything until the bread absorbs the yummy egg mixture, ensuring each bite is packed with flavor.
  5. Pour the mixture into a greased baking dish. Spread it out evenly, making sure the cheese and veggies are nicely distributed for a balanced bake.
  6. Bake for 30-35 minutes until set and golden brown.
  7. Cool the casserole for a few minutes before serving.
