I added some diced tomatoes, onions and corn to my eggs and I topped the cheese with a cracker crust (melt 4tbsp butter and crush crackers in). The texture of the soft bread and crust was really good. This casserole is so filling and yummy!

Had a couple of overnight guests & the 4 of us easily consumed over 3/4 of this very nice tasting casserole without any problem at all! I used a mild Italian sausage, a not-so-mild cheddar & homemade nutty whole wheat breat in this very easy, no-fuss breakfast! Not the healthiest of meals, but it certainly was enjoyable!
