Whisk the eggs, milk, salt, pepper and origanum together in a bowl.

Place the bread in a large bowl and pour in the egg mixture, add the cheddar and mozzarella (reserve some for topping) and cooked bacon.
-
Mix together until all bread is coated and then cover with cling film and set aside in the fridge for at least 30 minutes (until all the egg is soaked into the bread).

Preheat oven to 180°C and spray a 22cm spring form cake tin with spray and cook.
-
Pour the bread mixture into the cake tin, pat down to compress and sprinkle with remaining uncooked bacon and remaining cheese.
