This casserole was pretty good. I really enjoyed the flavor and it was definitely easy enough to make. I had to add 50% more egg mixture to mine because it didn't cover all the bread at first even after soaking a couple hours. I"m not sure if my sourdough loaf (16oz) was bigger than the one the recipe uses. I felt like then end product had a little too much bread in it. Next time I would cut it down. I used thyme for the seasoning, added about a 1/4 of bacon crumbs. I had to cook it about 50 min. because the first time the center was still mushy. Overall it was good. I will probably try this again and tweek it a little. I want to try letting it soak overnight instead of just 4 hours.
