For an even richer flavor, consider using day-old challah or brioche bread. Add a splash of bourbon or rum to the custard mixture for a boozy twist. Customize your casserole with additions like chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or dried fruit. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave.
