Instructions

Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat, and cook and stir mushrooms until their liquid has mostly evaporated and mushrooms are beginning to brown, about 10 minutes. Set the mushrooms aside.
Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish, and arrange 8 muffin halves, cut-sides up, in the bottom of the dish. Stuff pieces of remaining muffins into the spaces between halves. Spread 1 cup of Colby-Monterey Jack cheese over muffins in a layer, and distribute asparagus pieces, mushrooms, red pepper, and onion over cheese.
Whisk together eggs, milk, salt, dry mustard, and black pepper in a bowl, and pour egg mixture over muffins and vegetables. Cover the dish, and refrigerate overnight.
The next day, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Remove casserole from the refrigerator and let stand for 30 minutes. Spread 1 cup of Colby-Monterey Jack cheese in a layer over the casserole.
Bake in the preheated oven until a knife inserted near the edge comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes. Let stand 5 to 10 minutes before cutting into squares.
