Notes
- Test for doneness using a knife inserted into the center of the casserole. If it comes out clean, the casserole is done.
- To make the casserole easier to slice, let it rest for a few minutes before cutting into it.
- Be sure to let the bread fully absorb the egg mixture for a custard-like texture to your casserole.
