Since it was a late night and an early morning, Mommy loves you Thing 1, I wanted to keep this morning easy. So bring on the breakfast casserole. It only takes 5 minutes to put together. Then you let it soak for 5 minutes, throw it in the oven, and go drink your coffee. Think of this as a savory bread pudding.
I
like French bread, a lot, so that's what I use here. The
way my boys eat I need ¾ of the loaf for this recipe, and that means I get to
eat the other ¼
loaf all by myself. Bread Therapy!!

My dad used to make something like this when we were growing up. He would put tons of meat and cheese in it which inspired my mom to call the dish, "The Heart Attack Special." It was delicious and we only ate it once a week. Please share this on my Foodie Friday Linky.
ReplyDeleteYUM! Will have to try this weekend.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about 11pm being a late night out now... I used to be able to party till the sun came up and still go to class or work the next day- but a few weeks ago we were out till 2am and I was useless the next day. :)
