The casserole was a bit dry. I think I would add a little more milk or cream next time.

I thought the casserole was a little too sweet for my taste. I might try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not a fan of sweet breakfast dishes, but this casserole was surprisingly good. The bread was soft and fluffy, and the filling was rich and creamy.

I didn't have any nutmeg on hand, so I used a little bit of cinnamon instead. It still tasted great!

I added some chopped spinach and mushrooms to the casserole. It made it more nutritious and gave it a nice pop of color.

I used sourdough bread instead of French bread. It was a little more hearty and added a nice flavor to the casserole.

This casserole was my first attempt at a breakfast casserole. I had my doubts because I am not much of a cook, but it turned out great! My family loved it and said it was restaurant quality.
