    I would omit the mustard.. you could taste it in the eggs and I wasn't a fan of the flavor. I think it would be good if not for that though.

      The croutons would be soggy from sitting all night with the egg mixture soaking in. Not sure how much they would firm up with the cooking process. We have only made it the a few hours ahead of time and it seems to be fine.
