The Preparation
Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter or spray a 9x13 baking dish.
Cook bacon until crispy, then crumble. Set aside.
Spread cubed bread in the prepared baking dish.
Scatter crumbled bacon, shredded Gouda, and Parmesan over the bread.
In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, cream, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
Pour custard evenly over the bread. Press down to help bread absorb liquid.
Let soak for 15 minutes.
Bake at 350°F for 45-50 minutes until set and golden on top.
Garnish with fresh chives or parsley. Serve warm.
