Ingredients

6 cups day-old white bread, cut into 1-inch cubes
2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Spread the bread cubes evenly in a lightly greased 9\" x 13\" baking dish.
Sprinkle with the pancetta, cheese, onion, and pepper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk.
