Rise and shine, it’s breakfast time! Sunday is my favorite day of the week, no morning rush or unmet challenges, finally there is time to sit back and enjoy a relaxing breakfast. This bread bake is a savory version of bread pudding. The recipe only calls for simple ingredients, you can always manage to scrap together some version as long as you have egg and bread.It tastes like a cross between a quiche and omelette; moist, custardy on the inside while the edge is crunchy and golden…

A Sunday well spent brings a week of content, start your day with a smile and a great breakfast!

• 250g bacon, diced
• 6 eggs

1. Heat a large non stick pan over high heat. Add all but 2 tbsp of bacon (reserve for topping) and cooked until lightly browned.

3. Whisk the eggs, milk, salt and pepper in a bowl.
4. Place the bread in a large bowl. Pour in the egg mixture, 1½ cups cheese and cooked bacon
5. Set aside in the fridge for at least 30 minutes ( so all the egg is soaked into the bread) or overnight.
