Awesome with some hot sauce, otherwise a bit too bland for my taste. I did use an Italian moose sausage, but even a hotter sausage would perk it up a bit.
Love how easy and versatile this recipe is. I used leftover dinner biscuits instead of sliced bread, a vegan apple maple flavored sausage and chopped up a green bell pepper and it came out great. Thanks!
Baked it this morning and let me tell ya! The whole family loved it! 🙂 Thank you for a good recipe that’s for keeps. I didn’t have sausage but I had bacon pieces so I used those and fiesta blend cheese for the whole thing. I used bolillo rolls for the bread and next time it has to be in a 9×13 instead of a 2 qt. cause we didn’t have enough for everybody lol! Good thing I served some cantaloupe chunks to go with it otherwise we’d be squabbling over who gets the last piece lol!!!
Made it but added dollops of whipped cream cheese with chives just before baking.
We loved it!!! Made it the night before, so all I had to do was take it out the next morning and bake it. Served with mixed fruit and grits, this was a great company breakfast.
I made it with Cashew milk and it came out great.
So easy to make and delicious! Only change I made was I didn’t put it in the fridge overnight. Not sure why that was suggested. It came out great without doing that.
Made it for guests and everyone loved it!
I made this for Christmas morning. It was very good. Didn’t give it 5 stars because I changed it a bit. I used thenO’Brien hash browns instead of bread. Also used hot spicy sausage for a kick
Very mediocre. Added spicy sausage, but it was still very plain.
I was looking for a quick, easy breakfast casserole for Christmas morning (on Christmas morning!) that didn’t have potatoes in it. This recipe was fantastic and just what I was looking for. My family went nuts over it and wants me to make it again this weekend! I made a couple small changes. I used 10 eggs because there were 4 adults eating and then added ¼ tsp more salt and pepper. I also used taco cheese and added another 1/2 cup. I also put the bread slices in the bottom and poured the mixture on top instead of tearing the bread into pieces. Cooked it for about 45-50 minutes. Will make again!!
I doubled it and put it an 11×13 pan. Used one 8oz bag of cheddar jack cheese. I like how it filled the casserole using the bread and the sausage. Keeper.
This recipe turned out really great. Based on other reviews, I added more bread, 2 extra eggs and a little bit more milk. I also added a tsp of ground mustard and some minced onions.
Easy to put together the night before. The family loved it. I used pre cooked turkey sausage crumbles to cut back on fat.

Put Simply Potatoes O’Brien shredded potatoes instead of bread, 1 3/4 milk, 6 eggs, Added drained diced green chilies to give it some flavor, package of Jimmy Dean cooked sausage crumbles & Mexican blend cheese. Put in Le Creuset braiser sprayed with cooking spray. Baked at 325 convection 55 min. Served with salsa.
Turned out great, next time I make it I will add some onion, red bell pepper and maybe some green Chile.
I doubled the recipe because there were 5 adults eating, and used a dutch oven to make it in because it’s all I had at our lake house. It was fabulous …. crispy around the edges and cheesy deliciousness on top!! One thing to keep in mind if you double the recipe is to double (almost) the cook time as well!!
This was a definite hit! I took one reviewer’s advice and used cubes French bread, but I used a half loaf which must have been a bit too much. So I added another 3 eggs and 1/2 c. milk so that it wasn’t too dry. The only time saver I tried and was pleased was to use pre-cooked patty sausage and cut it into 1/4s. Saved time and made for easy clean up.
I have made it twice. And I am the Dad. No pictures because the kids attack it. If you don’t make it the night before, 325 for 25 minutes does the trick. And yes, it makes a good
Yummy!!! have also enjoyed for supper.
