BONNIE'S CHRISTMAS MORNING CASSEROLE
The thing I like the best about this breakfast casserole is that it is made the night before Christmas, and it sits in the fridge and blends all the great flavors together. The next morning, you pop it in the oven, and when the aroma wafts through the house, then you know that Christmas has finally arrived. This is our Christmas...

Steps:
- 1. THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS: Use Pam spray and grease a 9X13 baking dish.
- 2. Prepare the bread. I use frozen Texas toast bread. (easier to cube frozen, thaw slightly) You can use French bread if Texas toast is not available. Remove the crusts from the bread, cut into 1/2 inch cubes, and place the cubes in the baking dish.
- 3. Top with the cheese. Beat the eggs and add to the milk and pour over the bread and cheese. Top with cooked ground ham, cooked sausage, shrimp, crabmeat, mushrooms or crumbled bacon, whatever you desire. (I've tried them all, and they are all yummy!) Pour the melted butter over all. Cover with saran wrap and refrigerate overnight.
- 4. CHRISTMAS MORNING: Remove the casserole from the fridge, and heat it up slowly so your cold dish doesn't break. I let mine sit on the counter for about an hour and put it in the oven when I put it on pre-heat. Bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes to 45, depending on the heat of your oven and the altitude. High altitude may take almost an hour to bake. Check periodically with toothpick. When your casserole is done, cover loosely with foil and let rest for 10 minutes so when you cut it, it will come out of the dish in a square.
- 5. Cook's Tip: My original recipe called for a whole stick of butter, but I found that 1/2 stick works just fine for us. This is a good recipe for you to make your own. If you have some favorite ingredients that you would like to see added for Christmas morning, have at it! Enjoy!

[email protected]This casserole was way too greasy for my taste. I think I used too much sausage. I also found the bread cubes to be a bit dry. I think I would try using a different type of bread next time.

[email protected]I had some trouble getting the casserole to brown on top. I ended up putting it under the broiler for a few minutes, and that did the trick. Other than that, the casserole was delicious.

[email protected]This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I added some extra spices and herbs, and it was much better. I also think it would be good to add some chopped vegetables, like spinach or zucchini.
