Yum! I'd have some warm tortillas, scoop it into that, with generous hot sauce! :)
Maybe use chorizo sausage.

Wow. Very nice.
I'm going to downsize this and give it a go. Does the bread toast at all being on the bottom of the dish?

My post got lost...........

It doesn't really toast it Fred. The bread absorbs the egg mixture and it's more like a crust. Sort of like a bread pudding on the bottom but more solid. Did that make sense? lol

[Chowhound]

Yep. I just didn't want it "mooky" or soggy. If it turns to a crust, that good. Otherwise I was going to toast it first, but I didn't want to dry it out too much either.
I'll make it as is :^)

Something my wife would like, not me though (I am not a casserole person). But we make homemade cinnamon rolls for breakfast for Christmas morning.
