Versatile and delicious !! This was an early dinner tonight and I used a big handful of basil instead of the pepper and my croutons were a mix of multi grain and gluten free. Definitely will be made again!!

What a wonderful breakfast casserole!!! Just loved all the flavors in this dish. I made this very scaled back to serve 2. I had a green pepper that needed to be used, so used it instead of the red, but I know the red would have been great on the eye. I loved using the croutons instead of having to break up bread etc for other recipes. I used a butter/garlic flavored crouton so I did go light with the garlic salt. I think this will be the recipe I use for our next brunch on Christmas morning. Thanks for sharing the recipe WiGal!!! Made for Holiday Tag Game.
