Bacon & Cheddar Strata



1 pound bacon strips
1 medium sweet red pepper, finely chopped
8 green onions, thinly sliced
1/2 cup chopped oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes
8 slices white bread, cubed
2 cups (8 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese
6 eggs, lightly beaten
1-1/2 cups 2% milk
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground mustard
1/8 teaspoon pepper


In a large skillet, cook bacon in batches until crisp; drain on paper towels. Crumble into a large bowl. Add the red pepper, onions and tomatoes. In a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish, layer half of the bread, bacon mixture and cheese. Top with remaining bread and bacon mixture.

In a small bowl, combine the eggs, milk, mayonnaise and seasonings. Pour over the top. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Cover and refrigerate overnight.

Remove from the refrigerator 30 minutes before baking. Bake, covered, at 350° for 40 minutes. Uncover and bake 5-10 minutes longer or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Let stand for 5 minutes before cutting.

Yield: 10 servings.
