You can make this breakfast dish the night before. Prepare as directed. Do not top with remaining 1 cup cheese. Cover; refrigerate. Let stand at room temperature 30 minutes before baking. Bake at 350°F, 50 minutes. Top with 1 cup cheese. Continue baking 10-15 minutes or until golden brown and knife inserted in center comes out clean. Let stand 15 minutes before cutting.

Tip #2

To speed preparation, purchase ready-to-use bacon pieces, found in the salad dressing aisle of the grocery store, instead of cooking slices of bacon.
