Directions

Generously grease a 9 x 13-inch (23 by 32cm) baking dish . Arrange the bread in the baking dish evenly. Sprinkle with two kinds of shredded cheese.
In a bowl, combine the remaining ingredients, mixing well. Pour evenly over the bread, cover and refrigerate overnight.

Allow to rest for 5 or 10 minutes before serving.

Country Breakfast Casserole for Two

Use ⅓ pound of breakfast sausage, 4 eggs 1 cup of milk + ¼ cup cream, only 4 slices of bread and ⅓ cup each of the shredded cheeses.

Reduce baking time to 45 minutes. In a smaller casserole dish, you can stack the bread slices two layers high, so we divide the cheeses and sprinkle ½ the cheese and scallions on the first layer of bread slices and then layer with the remaining bread slices sprinkled with the remaining cheese.
