There is really nothing to this recipe and can be put together in just minutes. We use whole grain white bread for the added fiber and nutrition.
 
I mean it already has egg and cheeses but we can pretend it is healthy for us.

Once you layer the bread and the cheeses, make your egg and milk mixture.

That is it. I told you this overnight egg casserole was a breeze. A lot of the liquid will absorb into the bread allowing for a puffy surprise in your oven.

Bake until golden brown and puffy. Don’t worry, it is going got fall but it sure looks amazing when it comes right out of the oven. Make sure your guests see it then too.

Once it has cooled slightly you can serve it up. You definitely want to allow it to cool some of it will be a disaster to cut and serve.
 
Pair your Overnight Egg Casserole with a fresh fruit salad and Quick and Easy Sticky Buns that all can be made the night before.
