Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly coat a square baking pan with cooking spray.

Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Chop when cool enough to handle.

Step 3

Whisk eggs and milk together in a bowl. Stir in bell peppers, onion, cilantro, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

Arrange croutons in the bottom of the prepared pan. Layer bacon, pepper Jack cheese, Cheddar cheese, and Swiss cheese on top, then pour egg mixture over top.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven until set, 30 to 40 minutes. Remove from the oven; let sit before serving for 20 minutes.
