Servings:

1 loaf French brioche bread french, challah, or sourdough bread are other great options
7 eggs, beaten
2 cup milk
1/2 cup half and half
1/3 cup sugar
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 tbls vanilla
12 slices Wright® Brand bacon, diced

In a large skillet, cook diced bacon until browned and cooked through. Place bacon on a paper towel lined plate to drain excess grease.
Cut or tear bread into small cubes. Spray a 9x13 casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray.
Place bread cubes in the casserole dish. Sprinkle half of the bacon pieces over the bread.
In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, half and half, vanilla, sugar and cinnamon. Pour mixture over bread and bacon. Cover the dish and refrigerate for 2 hours up to overnight.
When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a bowl, combine flour, brown sugar and cinnamon. Stir butter into flour mixture. Using the back of a fork, mix butter with the mixture until crumbly.
Sprinkle mixture over the casserole and then top with remaining bacon pieces.
Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove cover and bake another 20-25 minutes.

I also enjoy serving this with a dusting of powdered sugar and a drizzle of maple syrup.
