## 👩🍳 **How to Make It**
### 1. **Prep Your Dish**
Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or casserole pan with butter or nonstick spray. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
### 2. **Whisk It All Together**
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and any optional seasonings. Stir in cheese, bread cubes, and your chosen add-ins (like cooked meat or veggies).
### 3. **Pour and Spread**
Pour the egg mixture into the prepared casserole dish. Spread it evenly with a spoon or spatula.
### 4. **Bake**
Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Then uncover and bake for another 15–20 minutes, or until the top is golden and the center is set (a knife should come out clean).
### 5. **Rest and Serve**
Let it cool for 5–10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm!
