Breakfast Casserole
This is a fabulous egg casserole to serve for brunch or just spice up a weekend breakfast at home. I have even made a gluten free version and it was wonderful. You could also use croissants, challah or baguettes. If you double this, use a 9×13 pan. This recipe is written for an 8×8 pan. Try serving this with my bacon candy! Your guests will want to move in!
