Saute 10 minutes or until liquid evaporates and mushrooms are lightly browned. Add half of herb mixture and cook 1 minute, stirring constantly. Stir in bell peppers. Remove from heat and cool slightly.
Combine remaining salt, pepper, herb mixture, milk, eggs and ¾ cup cheese in a large bowl, blending well with a whisk. Stir in mushroom mixture. Add bread and stir to combine well. Let stand 10 minutes.
