2. In a small casserole dish pat the suffing into the dish forming a crust. If needed mix the stuffing with a bit of melted butter to help it adhere.
3. Bake the crust for about 8-10 minutes until it is slightly set.
4. Take casserole out of the oven and scatter cheese and meat over the crust.

I wish the Food.com printing algorithm would reduce the interline spacing and allow for deleting the nutrition info (and especially not put it smack dab in the middle of the recipe) ... so the recipe could be printed on one single-side sheet of paper.

Five Stars in my book! - It is versatile, tasty, and a better use of leftover staffing than just reheating it. I forgot to roast some garlic so I just sprinkled in some garlic powder. I didn't have a small casserole so I used a pie plate. My cheese was a mix of Swiss, cheddar, and Monterey jack. I used leftover turkey as my meat. See? Versatile!

I made this tonight since I had way too much stuffing leftover. It was delicious! I had some bacon I needed to cook so used that, shredded cheddar, and some spices. Husband loved it and so did I! I may just make it when I don't have leftover stuffing. Easy to prepare, not expensive, and a great way to use that leftover stuffing. I baked my stuffing for 20 minutes because it was very moist. Turned out great, highly recommend!

I was a little skeptical of this, but tried it anyway. Omg it’s delicious! I did cook the crust a little longer than 10mins because I wanted to be sure it got a little crusty. I also just added some garlic powder to the eggs vs doing the roasted garlic. I found my stuffing to be plenty flavorful. All the leftover stuffing recipes I found were just to make it into cakes or muffins... this is such a better idea and great way to repurpose for a breakfast!

Similar to a breakfast casserole I make in a small cast iron skillet - use commercial or homemade croutons and sausage or bacon. Most of the rest of the ingredients are the same. Following this recipe (somewhat) I used leftover dressing (which had mushrooms and onions already but was a bit dry). I melted a couple TBL butter in small pie plate and added the stuffing. Didn't really bother to press up the sides nor did I pre-bake it. Chopped turkey on top followed by sharp cheddar and the egg/milk/garlic mix with pinch of baking power. Baked exactly 30 minutes and then let sit for 2-3 minutes. Very good. The turkey was a bit boring and this quiche would be better with ham or sausage, I think. Served with other leftovers from turkey day.
