Why harden your arteries with mounds of sausage when you could make a lighter, healthier alternative? This turns out fantastic and is a lot easier on the waistline than the traditional favourite.

This is the first time I have tried a bread-based breakfast casserole. DBF gobbled this up, but I didn't really care for it. I think it may have been the texture, possibly something to do with the bread soaking for 8 hours. I think for next time I will either toast the bread or not let it sit overnight. Or both. I really liked the addition of crab to the dish though. That is a very good change from ham/bacon/sausage all the time. DBF loved this though, so I expect to be making it in the future.
