1 teaspoon olive oil
1 cup medium onion, thinly sliced
1 cup bell pepper, thinly sliced
2 teaspoons taco seasoning
Nonstick cooking spray

Apply a thin layer of nonstick cooking spray to a loaf pan. Transfer bread to the pan, ensuring it's distributed in an even layer.

Pour the egg mixture over the top of the bread. Gently toss to combine. Cover and chill for one hour or up to overnight.
