Make-Ahead Breakfast Casserole

Made this for a New Years Day brunch and it was fantastic. I used precooked turkey crumbles and added cayenne pepper. I did follow another reviewers suggestion and added more egg. It was great being able to put it together the night before and pop it in the oven the next day. Will definitely make this again.

Fabulous! Husband says it's the best he's ever had. We make it every year for Christmas morning. Crunchy bread, and not as heavy as most breakfast casseroles.

Easy and fast. 6 guests raved and ate it all. The recipe is delicious as is, and can be taken down any flavor road with spices. Curried would be amazing. Use double the egg substitute for more of a casserole than bread pudding feel.

Really good for brunch with my friends. I made some modifications-used a bit more than 8oz of ciabatta bread for my crowd (maybe 10 oz?), used an entire 16oz carton egg substitute (which was perfect), sauteed some leeks, red peppers and cremini mushrooms and added these (maybe 1.5 cups total), along with some thyme, basil and oregano.Used only 10 oz of sausage which was plenty. Added a bit of monterey jack cheese with jalapenos since I had it around. Oh, did put a bit of salt and pepper in the morning of baking before it went in the oven. Forgot to add parsley and did not notice. This is not very eggy, more of a breakfast bread pudding. Everyone liked it (as did all the kiddos), so will definitely make again.

Simple, fast and can't tell it's low fat. We had a taste test with this recipe in my office today. I have been making this recipe for years and claimed you can't tell it's low fat. Which sparked a challenge. So I made the version as noted here and I made a version that takes all the low fat low calorie ingredients and replaces with the regular calorie versions. Not one person guessed which one was which and everyone said to make it low fat. The only changes I make is to use the full 16 oz carton of egg substitute, it would be very dry without doing that and I use 1% milk instead of fat free. As another reviewer noted, I also stir/turn it once I take it out of the refigerator in the morning.
