I have made this several times for large brunch gatherings, where I double or triple the recipe. It seems to please everybody. I've also halved the recipe and baked it in a square pan for just the two of us.

This was a fantastic recipe and easy to make. I had to cook it about 15 minutes longer at 350 to get it to firm up.

Made this as directed except omitted salt. I should have added it, but overall this is an excellent recipe, one I will definitely make again. Used sourdough (with crusts) & it came out wonderful.
