Mexican Breakfast Casserole
“I make this recipe whenever I'm having overnight guests,” writes Leona Hansen of Kennedy Meadows, California. “Fresh fruit and tortillas or sweet rolls go very well to complete breakfast.”

I was excited to see the title "Mexican Breakfast Casserole", then read the ingredients. There is nothing in this dish that is indicative of any type of "Mexican" cuisine, especially ground mustard and French bread. TOH, what a disappointment.
Yes, I made this alongside another breakfast casserole and this one was the winner! I, too, used real eggs. Served it with the choice of green chile salsa or mild red salsa.

Delicious. I made this for my extended family and EVERYONE loved it, even the kids. I did serve it with salsa which was good. The only thing I changed was using 5 eggs instead of egg-substitute.
