1. Preheat the oven to 350 °F.

Combine the eggs, milk, cheese, and salt in a bowl and whisk until fully mixed.

Stir the cubed bread in the egg mixture until it is just combined, being careful not to overmix and break apart the bread.

4. Fold in the remaining ingredients.

An 8×8 inch greased pan should be used to pour the mixture and bake it for 45-50 minutes, or until the top turns golden.

6. Serve.
