I made this recipe for breakfast for my family and while it was extremely easy to make the flavor was bland. I was going to take this for Easter brunch and am glad I tried it first. I did my own version which turned out much better. Instead of using bread I used 1 1/2 boxes of garlic and herb croutons. I also used swiss cheese instead of cheddar and 1/2 heavy cream, 1/2 milk. This made it much richer. It is a good recipe just needed some spicing up! :)

A variation of this recipe has been a tradition in my family for 25 years. I make is early Christmas Eve and put it in the refrigerator. On Christmas morning) we get up (really early!) and I put it in the oven @ 350 for 70 minutes. By the time presents are opened and the mess is cleaned up it's time to eat! My recipe uses toasted bread and we like lots of blotted, crumbled bacon I add previously-cooked hashbrowns (nice and golden brown!)in the morning before it goes in the oven. My grandkids now look forward to Christmas morning just like their Mom or Dad did a generation ago! It's a great family tradition!

This dish turned out very nicely. I have made other variations of it before and have found that letting the bread sit out for a day (so it won't be too soft or mushy) before tearing the pieces up in preparation. I added a little garlic powder and onion powder to the recipe and also added (canned) mild green chili slices in between the first cheese layer and under the cheese in the last layer. Turned out nice and souffle' like. Yum.

Made this for a family Sunday brunch, along with two other recipes found at this site (Blueberry Buckle and Fresh Fruit Salad), and got rave reviews! An easy-to-make-ahead all-in-one dish.

This was "OK"...but if I make it again I'll add more spices and jazz it up.

this was alright. it's easy to make and the taste is okay.

I used this recipe because I lost my mother-in-law's recipe, but the result was even better! I got many raves for this one. Perfection! P.S. Don't tell the mother-in-law. :-)

I made this for a non-profit board meeting and while I would give it 5 stars for ease of putting together, the flavor is non-existent. That being said, some folks did go back for "seconds" but next time I make it, I will probably doctor it up with some herbs/spices.

Quite easy and tasty. It's a little too rich and creamy for my taste though. Maybe I should've added more onions or peppers.

I can describe this dish in 2 words; delicious and EASY!!! I made this on Christmas eve so that I wouldn't have to wake up and cook on Christmas morning. It was so easy to prepare and very delicious. I did however. only use 8 oz. of cheese instead of 16 oz. and that was plenty of cheese. Everyone loved it, even the kids. I would definately make this again. For a little kick you might want to use Pepper Jack cheese.

This was so easy and so good. I sent it to a potluck breakfast and it went very quickly. I added thinly sliced tomatoes on top. I plan to make it for supper soon.

I tried this because I knew it would be easier and quicker than making individual omlets as I had planned. Everyone voted on taking the time for individual omlets from now on. Just wasn't for us.

Wonderful make-ahead dish. I love serving this to groups. No last-mintue fuss and everyone loves it every time! You can also easily vary the ingredients to suit your tastes.

This recipe was certainly tasty. I think ham should be put in the middle as well as on top and it could also benefit from more cheese and some salt with paprika dashed on top. I cut the recipe in half and baked in a round cassarole dish. I think my dish was a tad too deep because it did come out a little sloppy. Next time I'll bake it in a larger dish and not make each layer as deep.

This was very good and so easy to make. I was only able to refrigerate it for about 4 hrs. and it came out fine. I also added 1 chopped up jalapeño pepper, with seeds, to spice it up a little. The adults liked this, the kids did not give it a fair shake. I cut the recipe in 1/2 for a family of 4 and baked in a 7 x 11 pan.

Thanks Mom! This one was great. I made it with 1/2# breakfast sausage instead of ham but used all of the veggies. It was a great, hearty breakfast. We really enjoyed it!

This recipe was just so-so to my crowd. The texture of the bread was kind of mushy, even though I used an oven thermometer and baked it the full time. Several guests said that it was "okay" as long as it was piping hot, but when it cooled off/got cold, it wasn't very good at all. I had some guests even leave half of it on their plate.
