Additional Notes/Tips

  1. Add cooked sausage or bacon for extra flavor (or just because you really need that extra indulgence).
  2. Use any bread you have, but stale or toasted works best for texture.
  3. Customize with your favorite veggies or spices. Mushrooms or spinach could be delightful additions.
  4. Make ahead and refrigerate overnight for an even easier morning.
  5. Leftovers store well for up to 3 days in the fridge and reheat beautifully. Enjoy!
