This recipe was fabulous! I made it for a brunch for five women and we ate the whole 9 X 13 pan! As one reviewer wrote, next time I will definitely make 2 pans as everyone loved this recipe. The only changes I made was I used shredded pepper jack cheese instead of swiss, and I sauteed onions, mushrooms and fresh asparagus and added into the egg mixture, then let it set overnight. It was beautiful and delicious!3Reply

I fixed this for Christmas brunch along with several other special dishes. This one was polished off almost instantly! I wish I had made two casseroles instead of just one. I did add extra ham and a bit more salmon just because I had it on hand as a leftover from bagels & lox the day before. I also used mini croissants, it seemed they'd fit better, and they did. I like that I can fool around with it a little. It was great. I'll be using it again for sure.1Reply
