I know a recipe is good when I daydream about it the next day and wonder how long I have to wait before I can do it again. I added a little garlic powder, but I imagine this is very versatile and it would be easy to switch out whatever protein and veggie you had on hand.

My family really liked this recipe and my husband said it was a nice change from the typical breakfast casserole. I laughed and agreed saying "Yes, it's not BLAND"! I halfed the recipe and didn't realize until I had it all prepared that it needed to sit in the fridge for 2 hours or overnight so I just let it sit for maybe 20 min on the counter and baked for 45 minutes.

This is awesome! I cut the butter down to 1/2 cup and it was still wonderful. I added a little bit of onions. I loved that it's not too "eggy." Word of advice....You have to put this out on the table right away or you're going to find yourself plucking off all of those crispy, buttery bread cubes and popping them in your mouth! ;) Who can resist that topping? This is great for brunch or supper. Thanx for a great new recipe!

This really is very good....better than expected since there are only a few ingredients listed. I added onion, a few cloves of garlic and additional seasoning. I rarely rate recipes unless they are exceptionally good or bad, and this was worth rating 5 stars! Also, I did not let it sit overnight, that is not a requirement.

Excellent! I substituted blanched fresh asparagus for the broccoli and rye bread cubes for the whole wheat bread cubes. Love, love, love the flavors and it made a lot.
