6 slices of cinnamon swirl bread, cut into small cubes
1/4 cup butter, melted
2 whole fresh eggs
3 egg whites
1-1/2 cups skim milk
3/4 cup Kraft finely shredded 2% cheddar cheese
3 slices Kraft 2% swiss cheese slices, diced small
2 tsp. all purpose flour
3/4 cup chopped cooked ham

1/2 cup chopped scallions or green onions
4 slices Oscar Meyer redi-cooked bacon, blotted and broken into large pieces

Directions
1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Spread bread cubes onto large ungreased baking sheet. Bake 10-15 minutes.
2. For crust, place bread cubes in food processor until reduced to fine crumbs. With food processor running, pour in melted butter until combined (mix will be crumbly).
3. Increase oven temp. to 375 degrees. Press crumb mixture onto bottom and 1-1/2" up sides of ungreased 9" springfoam pan or onto bottom & up sides of 9" quiche dish. Bake 4-5 minutes or until lightly browned; cool. Reduce oven to 325 degrees.
4. In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs & milk. In a small bowl, toss together cheeses, flour, 1/4 tsp each salt & fresh ground pepper. Add to egg mixture. Fold in ham, zucchini, carrot, bell peppers & scallions. Pour into prepared, cooled crust.
5. Bake 45-55 minutes or until knife inserted near center comes out clean. If necessary, to prevent over-browning, tent with foil. Cool 15 minutes on wire rack. Remove sides of springfoam pan, loosening sides with a knife if necessary.
6. To serve, top with assorted berries & bacon pieces.
