thyme

garlic powder

Kosher salt

black pepper

French bread

lb. ham, chopped

This was a great way to use up some leftover ham. Halved recipe in 8x8 pan. Just cubed some regular white bread. Added a big handful of baby spinach as the first layer on top of the bread. Baked for 35 minutes.

My little twist. Pit ham and sausage with onion cooked with it. Layer of American sliced cheese and than I use a Mexican blend of shredded cheese. I put parsley flakes on it and also fresh ground pepper and Himalayan salt. I just used what older bread that I had. I put couple of burger buns in it plus older loaf bread.. 
One thing I will do next time is make a meat lovers and that would be add some bacon to it as well. 

Could also take taco meat and make it a fiesta bake. That sounds yummy as well.

One suggestion is if you didn't make it the night before don't turn oven on until you have it prepared. Once it's done turn on oven let it preheat than put it in oven. This will allow eggs to get into bread.

I used sausage and bacon!!!  Added a little onion and sun dried tomatoes.....AWESOME!!!

I made this with a roasted garlic Italian bread, added a teaspoon of paprika,  and only 6 eggs in a 9×13 pan without overnight set. Everything else was the same. It was much better than my former recipe that uses plain white bread and breakfast sausage. We had it for dinner with green beans, everyone loved it!

I added the thyme against my better judgement. I didn't care for the taste with the eggs. Wouldn't make this recipe again.

Thank you for the recipe!!
Turned out GREAT! 

I halved the recipe and cooked it in a 8"×8" dish. I substituted half the milk with heavy cream, added about a 1/2 cup of extra shredded cheese(I used the "Mexican Blend") more than it would have been had I simply halved the recipe, used cubed Multi Grain Bread (it was what I had on hand), added a pinch of Onion Powder and topped it with some sliced green onions. Otherwise, I followed the recipe...which I am sure is AMAZING as written. I just always try to make it my own and put my own spin on things. Great guide!!

This would be delicious with all kinds of ingredients: spinach, mushrooms, tomatoes, feta, goat cheese, sausage, bacon, zucchini, broccoli...

Ex. Egg whites, low fat milk, Spinach, Turkey Sausage, Baby Bellas and a low fat cheese with Wheat Bread might make a healthier option.

Prepared for 40 and this dish was very tasty and I used what I had on hand. Which was cayenne pepper, black pepper,  Italian seasoning and cheddar cheese. no salt

I used turkey ham instead. I don't eat pork. It was delicious.
