For a spicier kick, use hot sausage or add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the egg mixture. Feel free to substitute the white bread with other types of bread, such as sourdough or brioche. If you don't have green chiles on hand, you can use a jar of salsa verde for a similar flavor profile. To prevent the top from browning too quickly, you can loosely tent the casserole with foil during the last 15-20 minutes of baking. This casserole can be easily customized with your favorite vegetables, such as diced bell peppers, onions, or mushrooms. Simply sauté them before adding them to the casserole. If you're short on time, you can bake the casserole immediately without refrigerating it overnight, but the flavors will not be as developed.
