  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly spray a square baking pan with cooking spray.
  • Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels and chop when cool enough to handle.
  • Whisk eggs and milk together in a bowl. Mix in bell peppers, onion, cilantro, salt, and pepper.
  • Arrange croutons in the bottom of the prepared pan. Layer with chopped bacon, then pepper Jack, Cheddar, and Swiss cheeses. Pour the egg mixture over the top.
