Breakfast Casserole
By DWatkins23
This is an easy breakfast casserole that is delicious. I particularly like the flavor of the Hawaiian bread contrasted by the salty bacon and cheese. It is even good cold and transports well so would make a great breakfast picnic food or to go breakfast. Excellent potluck option.

- 1 large onion, chopped

Preparation
Step 1
In a large skillet cook bacon until crispy and brown. Set bacon aside on paper towels to drain. In the same pan with a little of the bacon grease left, sauted the chopped onion until well softened and beginning to caramelize.
In a large bowl mix together the eggs, milk and 1/2 t salt and pepper each with a whisk. Add cheese and spinach and mix. Add bread cubes and toss until well coated and all ingredients are distributed.
Spray baking dish with non-stick spray. Pour out into large flat casserole or baking dish 9x15-inch (3 quart at least). Cover with foil and refrigerate overnight.
Preheat oven to 350°F. Bake the casserole, uncovered, until set and lightly browned on top about 30 to 40 minutes. Remove from oven and cut into squares.
Notes: You can substitute any good strong aged cheddar. You can also use sourdough bread or any other bread if you can't find the Kings Hawaiian rolls.
