Ingredients
  

8 large eggs

1 cup milk

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

2 cups diced bell peppers (red, yellow, and green)

1 cup chopped spinach (fresh or frozen)

1 cup diced tomatoes (drained if canned)

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 cup diced cooked breakfast sausage or veggie sausage (optional)

4 cups cubed bread (French or sourdough)

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika until well combined.

      Stir in the diced bell peppers, chopped spinach, diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, and cooked sausage (if using) into the egg mixture.

        Place the cubed bread into the greased baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

          Pour the egg and vegetable mixture over the cubed bread, pressing the bread down gently to soak up the liquid.

            Cover the baking dish with foil and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight to let the flavors meld and the bread soak.

              When ready to bake, remove the casserole from the fridge and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes.

                Bake covered for 30 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until the top is golden brown and the center is set.

                  Allow the casserole to cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
