Overnight Breakfast/Brunch Casserole image

This is different than your average breakfast casserole. It is so yummy and easy to put together. You can easily make this into a light dish by substituting egg beaters and light cheese. I've made it both ways and both are equally good! Also, if you cut the recipe in half, use 2 whole eggs and 1 egg white. If you're a vegetarian, this is also good without bacon!

I'm allergic to eggs, so I substituted unsweetened almond milk for the eggs in this recipe. It turned out great!

I love that this casserole can be made with a variety of different breads. I've used croissants, biscuits, and even waffles.

This casserole is definitely a make-ahead meal. It's so convenient to be able to just pop it in the oven in the morning.

This casserole was a lot of work to make and it didn't turn out as good as I expected.

I found this casserole to be a bit bland. I think it could have used more seasoning.

This casserole was a little too eggy for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference.

This casserole was super easy to make and it turned out great! I used a gluten-free bread and it was still delicious.

I'm not a big fan of breakfast casseroles, but this one was really good. The flavors were well-balanced and the texture was perfect.
