    2. Cut each roll into 8 cubes. Spread onto a baking sheet in a single layer.

    3. Bake in the preheated oven until toasted, about 10 minutes.

    4. Layer toasted bread cubes in a 1 1/2-quart baking pan. Sprinkle 1/4 cup Swiss cheese, 1/4 cup Cheddar cheese, 1/2 the bacon, and 2 green onions on top of the bread. Shake to settle the toppings into the bread.
