Frequent Asked Questions and Tips: 

• Can I use bacon or even omit the sausage?
  • Absolutely! If you omit the sausage this will taste  more like a French toast casserole, which is every bit of amazing. 
• Can I use heavy cream instead of half and half?
  • You sure can! 

Other Tips

1. This casserole is best served right away.
2. Top with fresh fruit, powdered sugar, or even syrup.
3. I have always used store bought donuts but you could use blueberry, sugared, or even  glazed donuts from the bakery as well.
