Ingredients
  

  • 1 loaf day-old sour dough bread
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded
  • 3 strips bacon
  • 4 cups milk
  • ¼ cup cherry tomatoes chopped
  • fresh parsley chopped for topping, optional
  • salt & pepper, to taste

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Cut the sourdough bread into 1x1 inch cubes.
  • Slice the bacon into bite-sized pieces and cook them in a pan until they become crumbly. Remove the cooked bacon from the pan. In the same pan, using the remaining bacon grease, cook the chicken breast.
  • In a small bowl, combine the milk, eggs, and shredded cheddar cheese. Grease a glass bread pan and create a layer of bread cubes at the bottom. Then, add the cooked chicken, bacon, chopped cherry tomatoes, and fresh parsley (if using) on top of the bread cubes. Finish with another layer of bread cubes.
  • Pour the egg and cheese mixture over the layers of bread cubes, ensuring that it is evenly distributed. Allow the mixture to sit for about 10 minutes, allowing the bread to absorb the liquid mixture.
  • Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 35 minutes or until the top layer of bread cubes becomes nicely crunchy and the egg mixture is bubbling. Once cooked, remove from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes.
  • Slice, serve, and garnish with additional fresh parsley if desired. Season with salt and pepper according to taste preferences. Enjoy!
