This is such a great recipe to use up almost-stale bread and older eggs! I always half this recipe, though, except for the cheese :) !!! It is so good! When I half it, I use a 8x8" pan and bake it for 30-40 minutes. Also, when I make this, it's always for dinner, so don't let the title limit your meal options. Because of this dinner meal, I have never refrigerated it overnight. It makes enough for me and my husband for dinner and a meal for the next day, whether it's breakfast, lunch or dinner.
