A++++++!!! This deserves 10 stars. I halved the recipe and made it for 2 people and they both said it tasted better than the restaurant they always eat at. I did not have the monterey jack so I just added extra swiss and cheddar. I used garlic and butter flavored croutons. Since I made it the night before all the croutons soaked in the egg and added extreme flavor. I added some chopped green peppers to the top. This will become a defenite keeper. This would be good to make for church brunches or breakfast. Thank you so much Jess for the recipe!!! Highly recommend trying this and you wont be dissappointed!!

Mmmmm - good stuff! I used all cheddar and pepper jack and left out the swiss cheese. I loved the use of the herbed croutons instead of just bread cubes. This is easy to make and delicious - thanks for posting the recipe!

This is probably the best egg casserole I've made yet! I love the flavor the croutons give and the addition of Swiss cheese really makes it stand out. And I can't forget to mention how easy it is to make!

I love this easy recipe. I made a few alterations the second time around. I only used 1/2 lb of sausage and cut the cheese down to 2 cups ( 1 pkg) of a mexican blend. This recipe makes great leftovers for a quick breakfast throughout the week.

Very yummy! Even my picky kids ate it and asked for more. It didn't say, but I'm guessing that you're supposed to uncover it before baking. Because I had mine covered for the first 50 minutes, and then the eggs were still runny. So I uncovered it, and then had to bake it for another 30 minutes.
