A luscious, rich and fabulous breakfast. A perfect treat for a special day...a bit time consuming, but definitely worth it.

This is delicious! We had this at a ladies prayer breakfast years ago and it was to die for! Such a nice change from other common egg casserole bakes.

Finally got around to making this again, with gruyere this time. It was delicious, and my cheese sauce turned out perfectly.Unusually good, but rich.
