This is another recipe that comes from my mom. She has made this for as long as I can remember. The great thing about it is you can make it the night before and have it already to go in the morning. It works great for Christmas morning. Open presents while it cooks in the oven. I also love it for Easter morning too.
I like to buy the sandwich bread that is in the shape of a square to make this. It makes it easier. I also reserve the crust you cut of and save it to make dressing for a turkey. This recipe also is a great way to use up leftover ham. You make this in layers like lasagna. With this, it’s like the bread are your noodles.

I love breakfast foods! I just posted about an omelette you can make in a ziploc baggie.
I can’t wait to give this one a try.
This looks delicious and how great that you can prepare it ahead of time!
I love that you can make this one the night before! Perfect for company!
Good Morning Laura that looks fantastic. What a great dish for guests or the holidays. Of course for my kiddos i would have to leave out the onion, they just dont know what is good.
