For a spicier kick, use hot Italian sausage or add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the egg mixture. Feel free to substitute the Monterey Jack cheese with cheddar, Gruyere, or a combination of your favorite cheeses. If you don't have day-old French bread, you can lightly toast fresh bread in the oven to dry it out slightly. This casserole can be assembled up to 24 hours in advance. Just make sure to keep it refrigerated until ready to bake. Serve with a side of fresh fruit or a light salad for a complete brunch.
