As the oldest of seven children, Mr. Handsome has eaten a lot of casseroles in his lifetime, and he has really come to detest them. So when I called this dish a breakfast casserole, he immediately corrected me.
“No, no,” he explained. “It’s not a casserole. A casserole is a disgusting mess of mushy ingredients all mixed together. This is totally different.”
“Then what should we call it?” I asked him.
“The ultimate breakfast sandwich,” he announced.
It’s incredibly easy to make. Here’s the recipe:

Recipe Notes
You can assemble this dish the night before, store it in the fridge (covered with plastic wrap), and bake it the following morning.
Mr. Handsome would love to know what you think of his dish! Oh, and I looked up the definition of casserole (“food baked together and served in a deep dish”) and I still think this qualifies.
