“I used to make this with turkey or chicken sausage, but adapted it for a vegetarian friend, and it was a huge hit. I serve it with fresh breads or bagels and a big mixed salad featuring arugula, apples and walnuts for brunch. It also works well for lunch, served with tomato bisque.” —Danna Rogers, Westport, Connecticut

Ingredients

  • 1 medium zucchini, finely chopped
  • 1 medium sweet red pepper, finely chopped
  • 1 cup sliced baby portobello mushrooms
  • 1 medium red onion, finely chopped
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 teaspoons minced fresh thyme or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 loaf (1 pound) day-old French bread, cubed

  • 1-3/4 cups grated Parmesan cheese
  • 6 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 2 cups fat-free milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Directions

  1. In a large skillet, saute zucchini, red pepper, mushrooms and onion in oil until tender. Add garlic, thyme, salt and pepper; saute 1 minute longer.
