Savory Baked French Toast Casserole with Sheep Cheese | Juicy Leftover Saver

Preheat the oven to 180 °C (top-bottom heat). Cut the stale sourdough bread into finger-thick slices or larger cubes. Grease a medium heatproof baking dish with 20 g of butter.

Dice 150 g of Kolozsvár bacon, then fry it in a dry pan over medium heat until crispy. Remove the cracklings from the rendered fat and set aside. Briefly toss the sliced spring onions in the remaining warm fat.

In a bowl, whisk together 4 eggs with 200 ml milk, 200 g sour cream, 2 cloves of crushed garlic, 1 tsp salt, 1 pinch of black pepper, and 1 tsp sweet paprika powder until smooth.
