  3. Spread the chopped bacon evenly across the bottom of the greased baking dish and sprinkle cheese on top.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and garlic powder until frothy.
  5. Pour the egg mixture over the bacon and cheese layer in the baking dish.
  6. Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 35–40 minutes until golden and slightly jiggly in the center.
  7. Let it rest for 5–10 minutes, then cut into squares and serve warm.
