"This is such a nice brunch dish - especially perfect for company. It isn't expensive even though it has crab in it; but it is really decadent and rich. I prefer to serve this with fresh fruit, coffee and a mimosa for the perfect brunch."

Step by Step Method
Step 1
Casserole ... In a large bowl, add the eggs, cheeses, sherry wine, capers, scallions, pimentos, dijon mustard, worcestershire, salt, and pepper and mix well. Add in the bread and mix to combine. Then lightly toss in the crab and gently mix once again, making sure to not break up the crab.
Step 2
Add to a 13x9 casserole dish, lightly sprayed with a non-stick spray. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 2 hours up to 24, but no longer. I like to make this the night before and then cook it in the morning. Eight (8) to 10 hours seems to work best.
Step 3
Bake ... Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and bake the casserole on the middle shelf for 35-45 minutes. I do make sure that the casserole dish is brought somewhat to room temp before I added it to a hot oven.
Step 4
Serve ... I prefer a fruit salad and a cold mimosa with this. Simple and easy. ENJOY!
