For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a splash of hot sauce to the egg mixture or a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese on top before baking. Feel free to substitute different types of cheese, such as Gruyere or Monterey Jack, to customize the flavor profile. If you don't have brioche, challah or even a good quality sourdough bread will work well.
