Egg and Bacon Breakfast Casserole

1. In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp. Drain bacon on paper towels; discard drippings. (If using sausage, cook over medium-high heat until brown. Drain off fat.)

2. Meanwhile, grease a 2-quart baking dish; set aside. Spread one side of bread slices with butter. Cut bread into 1-inch cubes. Place half of the bread cubes in the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle with half of the bacon. Top with the remaining bread cubes and the remaining bacon; sprinkle with cheese and green onions (dish will be full).

3. In a bowl, whisk together eggs, whipping cream, dry mustard, salt, and pepper. Gradually pour egg mixture over layers in dish. Cover with plastic wrap and chill for at least 2 hours. Include baking instructions with the casserole (below).
