I served this to friends for a Sunday Brunch and they absolutely loved it. I did make some adjustments while keeping the integrity of the dish. In place of the sausage I used turkey linguica, which make this a nice marriage of both my Italian and Portuguese roots. I used 12 eggs and reduced the milk to about 1 1/2 cups and used Foccacia rolls which I dried in the oven. Since the first one I made about 2 months ago, I have made several more everyone loves it!

Great start for the recipe but I really changed it up to boost the flavour. I made this for Mother's day brunch but I did alter the recipe quite a bit. Instead of canned mushrooms, I used fresh and sauteed them with about 1/4 cup of chopped onion and 1 tbsp butter. I substituted the bread for mini croissants and instead of Worcestershire I used a tbsp of grainy Dijon mustard. It was gone by the end of the brunch so it must have been loved.

Fabulous! I made this for Christmas morning brunch and my family went crazy over it! It was even better as leftovers. We are not big bacon lovers so I used Jimmy Dean's Sage Sausage in place of it (I pre-cooked it). Also, I used frozen hash browns (had them on hand) and pre-cooked them which made them a little mushy so will either use fresh potatoes for the hash browns or not pre-cook them. My husband is ready for me to make it again!

I toasted the bread cubes in the oven with olive oil and garlic, I also used fresh mushrooms (baby bellas) sauted. It was wonderful!

This was delicious...but I made some changes. I used a honey whole wheat bread and hot and spicy bulk sausage. I also dincreased the amount of worchestershire sauce to 2 teaspoons and added 1 teas. garlic powder as another reviewer suggested. It certainly is not bland made this way and with the honey wheat flavor, my husband raved about the combination of hot and sweet flavor. Another thing, I didn't make it up the night before, but I did allow it to sit for a hour before I baked it to let the bread soak up the egg/milk mixture. It's a keeper!!

I made this the night before for our New Year's Day brunch, and I have to say it was a success. Everyone loved it and my guests said it tasted great. I only gave it 4 stars because I felt like it needed extra seasonings, which I did while cooking. I added 1 tsp. rubbed sage, 1 tsp. onion powder and 1 tsp. garlic powder to the sausage as it cooked. I also did 5 slices whole wheat bread and 5 slices white bread instead of all whole wheat. Next time I will probably put a few more seasonings in the egg/milk mixture. Overall, very easy to make and yummy!
