- Additions
- 1 1 1 cup corn (cooked or frozen)
- 1/2 1/2 1/2 cup chopped broccoli (cooked or raw, raw will turn out crunchier)

- 1/4 1/4 1/4 cup sliced green onions
- 1 1 1 cup cubed ham and/or cooked Italian sausage
- A few slices cooked bacon, chopped

Preparation
Step 1
1 Preheat oven to 350F. Beat the eggs in a large bowl. Mix in the milk and cheese. Add the bread and carefully stir until all pieces of bread are moistened (don't over mix or the bread may disintegrate). Add additions. Add salt and pepper to taste (if using Italian sausage, you won't need either.) Butter a 13 x 9 inch casserole dish. Pour mix into casserole dish.
2 Bake in oven for 50 minutes to an hour, until the top is browned and the center springs back when touched. Remove from oven and let cool for 10 minutes before serving.
Serves 8.
Another Idea: maybe a dinner menu
Fresh salmon and cut it into cubes, removing the skin. When the salmon cooks in the egg/milk it is almost poached. The textures and consistency are wonderful. If using salmon, use quite a lot less cheese so that it doesn’t overpower the salmon. Salmon, mushroom (saute first) and brocolli, with whatever appropriate herbs you have to hand, try it!
What a great idea! I could just see that with some goat cheese instead of cheddar, and some fresh dill. ~Elise
Another Idea: Chirozo, green chilies, jalapenos.
