Notes
***Note 1: I used coconut bread. You may use whatever kind of bread you have access to and available***
***Note 2: You can use sausage instead of bacon if you prefer. Just make sure the sausage is cooked first before adding it into the custard
How to cook bacon in an oven: Preheat the oven at 400 degrees for 10 mins. Arrange the raw bacon in a baking pan, make sure the bacons are not overlapping with each other and bake for 15mins on one side and 10 mins on the other side or until it is cooked to your preference. Make sure to watch the bacon closely so it doesn't burn***
***Note 3: I didn't use any sugar in my recipe mostly because I don't like sugary meals but if you need it a bit sweeter, then you may add sugar. You can Skip the sugar and eat it syrup or and fresh fruits***
