Ingredients

16 ounces cheese shredded (I used half cheddar and half pepper jack)*
1 tablespoon flour
1 pound bacon cooked and crumbled**
12 eggs
1 cup milk
1 & 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt use half the amount if using table salt
3/4 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt
1/4 teaspoon dry mustard
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon paprika

Instructions

Spray a 9x13 inch casserole dish with nonstick spray or grease with butter.
Place the shredded cheese in the dish and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of flour. Toss together with your fingers to distribute evenly.
Sprinkle bacon evenly over the cheese.
Beat the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, seasoned salt, dry mustard, onion, garlic, and paprika.
Pour over the bacon and cheese.
Cover and refrigerate overnight. OR, you can bake this right away! No need to cover.
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Bake uncovered for about 45 minutes, or until the center is set and the top has browned.
Let stand for 5 minutes before cutting and serving.

Notes

*Most shredded cheese would be good here. Cheddar, Mexican blend, Monterey Jack, whatever you want. If you use Pepper Jack like I did it will make it spicier obviously.

**You can use 1 pound of cooked ham, or cooked sausage. This time I used half bacon and half kielbasa. I baked the bacon in the oven, then baked the sliced kielbasa until it was browned. (Probably like 10 minutes)

All of the spices in this recipe are according to taste. You can just add salt and pepper if you want.
