just wondering what type of croutons you used?
are they like that salad croutons or a homemade kind?
We just used a salad crouton.
Salad croutons work great.
Pepperidge Farm croutons, perhaps?
Pepperidge Farms croutons would work great….so would any store brand!
Made this today. Used garlic and butter croutons, no bell pepper. It was yummy! Easy. A do-over!
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.
can this be made up the night before and baked in the morning?
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.
Did you use grey poupon? That is my go to egg casserole secret, rich and delish
