Mexican Fiesta Breakfast Bake Recipe
Directions
  • Remove crust from bread. Place 6 slices in a lightly greased 12x8x2 inch baking dish.
  • Spoon half of the corn and half of the chiles over the bread. Sprinkle with half of the cheese. Layer the remaining bread, corn, chiles and cheese.
  • Whisk together eggs, milk and salt. Pour over top layers.
  • Cover and refrigerate casserole overnight to blend the flavors and soak the bread. In the morning, remove from refrigerator and let stand 30 minutes.
  • Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 40 to 45 minutes until warm and bubbly.
  • Top each serving with 1 tablespoon of salsa.


Notes and Suggestions Refrigerating the casserole overnight blends the flavors well.
