Instructions

  1. 1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Arrange baguette slices in the bottom of a casserole dish.
  2. 2 Beat eggs well in a bowl. Add onions, tomatoes, mushrooms, garlic, and ginger in a bowl. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of Cheddar cheese on top and mix until well combined. Add sage, salt, and pepper. Pour egg mixture over the baguette slices and sprinkle with bacon bits.
  3. 3 Bake in the preheated oven for 17 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining Cheddar and bake until fully melted, about 5 more minutes. Serve hot.
