I love anything that can be made before company arrives so this fit the bill.. i made some changes. i used 3/4 of a loaf of cubed and untoasted crusty olive oil and rosemary bread i decreased the sausage to 3/4 lb of broken up breakfast sausage and added a diced red pepper and 10 green onions, chopped, to the pan after I drained off most of the sausage fat but before the sausage was completely cooked. I completed the cooking of the sausagewith the veg for a few minutes. i increased the eggs to 10 eggs and the milk to 3 cups . my casserole pan was a bit larger than what the recipe called for. it was a success. i had 5 adults eating and not a leftover. will make it again and again. easy tasty and a bit hit.

Have made this every year for at least 25 Christmases. Also make a separate one for the vegetarians using soyriso instead of sausage! Everyone looks forward to this easy breakfast.

Not bad. I made it for a potluck and it was a big hit. Unfortunately, I didn't think it was very tasty. A bit bland.

My mother used to make this for her ladies luncheons in the 1950's. Delish!! She substituted mushrooms for the sausage.......lighter and perfect for the vegetarians in your life! I like to add chives to mine, as well :)

I had always heard of this recipe so finally tried it. We loved it and the fact that I can prepare it the night before is awesome to me. Adding this to my list to make regularly.
