• 4 cups of croutons
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 6 large eggs
• 1 cup of milk
• 1 teaspoon of salt
• 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
• 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter
• 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese

5. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper.
6. Butter a 9×13 inch baking dish. Spread half of the croutons in the bottom of the dish. Top with the cooked onions, crumbled bacon, and half of the shredded cheese.
7. Pour the egg mixture over the top and then sprinkle the remaining croutons and cheese over the top.
